We just made in-space transportation even easier. After deploying 10 sats to perfect orbits for our customers on the #InFocus mission, the Kick Stage had one more trick up its sleeve. For the first time, we demonstrated a plane change maneuver. 
The ability to change orbital inclinations means more flexibility for our customers, enabling them to position each and every satellite juuuuuust right. It also opens up an even wider range of missions possible from LC-1 and LC-2.
It’s just the latest capability demo from the Kick Stage. Across 15 missions, the Kick Stage has demonstrated orbit raising & lowering, constellation deployment, engine re-lights, inclination changes, hosted payload support & de-orbit capability.
The best part? The Kick Stage lets you design your mission your way. Choose Electron and get launch plus space tug in one, or fly a Kick Stage on another launch vehicle and still enjoy tailored in-space transportation to your perfect orbit.
It’s launch and deployment made easy, every time. Learn more: bit.ly/2TGeZkS
