Rocket Lab Finalizes French IoT Satellite Network for Kinéis with "High Five" Launch 🚀

Rocket Lab successfully launched the final five satellites for French technology company Kinéis, completing the deployment of its 25-satellite Internet of Things (IoT) constellation. The mission, named "High Five," lifted off from Rocket Lab’s New Zealand facility at 9:31 p.m. ET and delivered the satellites into a 650 km circular orbit approximately 66.5 minutes after launch. This marks the conclusion of a multi-launch agreement between Rocket Lab and Kinéis, with all 25 nanosatellites deployed across five dedicated Electron missions conducted between June 2024 and March 2025. Kinéis’ completed constellation will provide global, real-time connectivity for IoT applications, supporting sectors such as logistics, environmental monitoring, and asset management through data tracking, monitoring, and alerting capabilities. The "High Five" mission also represents Rocket Lab’s fourth successful launch of 2025, continuing the company’s strong performance following a record 14 Electron launches in 2024, solidifying its position as a leading provider of small satellite launch services.
