Rocket Lab’s HASTE to test hypersonic technology on suborbital flight for government’s top secret JUSTIN mission

September 28, 2025

JUSTIN is the mission name for a Rocket Lab HASTE suborbital flight, scheduled to launch on Monday, September 29, 2025, at 11:45 PM UTC, from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport in Virginia. The “JUSTIN” mission uses Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket in a suborbital configuration under its Hypersonic Accelerator Suborbital Test Electron (HASTE) program to test hypersonic technology for the U.S. government.  

The forecast calls for a temperature of 71°F, overcast clouds, 100% cloud cover and a wind speed of 11mph.Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA

Rocket Lab Launch Complex 2 (Launch Area 0 C) has witnessed the launch of 7 rockets, including 3 orbital launch attempts. While Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA, has been the site for 81 rocket launches.

Wallops Flight Facility is a rocket launch site on Wallops Island on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, United States, just east of the Delmarva Peninsula and north-northeast of Norfolk. The facility is operated by the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and primarily serves to support science and exploration missions for NASA and other federal agencies.

WFF includes an extensively instrumented range to support launches of more than a dozen types of sounding rockets; small expendable suborbital and orbital rockets; high-altitude balloon flights carrying scientific instruments for atmospheric and astronomical research; and, using its Research Airport, flight tests of aeronautical research aircraft, including uncrewed aerial vehicles.
