On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the r/RKLB community is celebrating the successful orbital insertion of the 12th StriX satellite following the "Owl By The Dozen" mission. Rocket Lab confirmed that the Electron booster performed a nominal flight and achieved a successful soft ocean splashdown, with recovery vessels currently in the process of retrieving the stage for post--flight analysis. This mission marks the company's 17th successful launch of 2026, further proving the reliability of their small--sat workhorse. Redditors are now looking ahead to the next mission on the manifest, titled "Coming To A Screen Near You," which is scheduled to lift off from Launch Complex 1 in October 2026 to deploy a constellation for a confidential commercial client.
