Vector Launch (formerly Vector Space Systems) was a small satellite launch startup that aimed to provide frequent, low-cost access to space for small payloads. The company developed the Vector-R rocket designed to carry up to 60kg to low Earth orbit, targeting the growing small satellite and CubeSat market. Vector emphasized rapid manufacturing and high launch frequency to serve commercial and government customers. Despite raising significant funding and conducting test flights, the company faced technical and financial challenges. Vector ceased operations in 2019 after burning through its funding and failing to achieve successful orbital launches.
