A Guide To: Electron Ocean Recovery

Electron is already the world's most frequently launched small rocket annually. Now we're making it the world's first reusable orbital small rocket too.

As a small rocket, Electron doesn't have the mass margins of larger reusable rockets, so propulsive landing is off the cards. Instead, we equip Electron's first stage with a parachute to slow its descent from space back to Earth, where it splashes down in the ocean for collection by marine vessel and transport back to our production complex for refurbishment, ready for the next flight.
