Space Force goes to (pretend) orbital war following record-fast Rocket Lab launch

The Space Force established a new record for rapid satellite deployment during the Victus Haze mission. Rocket Lab successfully placed the Pioneer satellite into orbit in less than 17 hours after receiving orders. This mission, simulating orbital war, involved close-range maneuvers with True Anomaly's Jackal satellite. This achievement shattered the previous Space Force record for the speed of launching a satellite following the issuance of official orders, as reported by DefenseScoop.
