Rocket lab is exploring in-orbit refueling of electron's second stage and photon interplanetary through a depot, and Photon to Photon refueling. RL estimates this doubles Photon's payload mass for interplanetary missions. Video link at end of thread. (1/6) #rocketlab #space $RKLB 
This capability was investigated through a partnership with ETA space, whom RL is working on a demonstrator in-orbit propellant depot with that launches in 2024. ETA's full scale propellant depot could launch as soon as 2025, and could refuel second stage and Photon. (2/6)
The capability of a refueled Electron second stage is limited by the one remaining battery, as Electron jettisons the other three on ascent. Perhaps there could be changes to this procedure in the future. (3/6)

2/ #ASTRA ($ASTR) currently trading under the #SPAC symbol $HOL (Holicity)
It is a space company the manufactures smaller rockets and #spacecraft to allow businesses to launch into space very quickly and cheaply, from anywhere in the world.
