Electron Flight 39 | Baby Come Back

Baby Come Back deployed seven spacecraft for three customers: NASA's four Starling technology-demonstration CubeSats, Telesat's LEO 3 communications demonstrator, and two Spire Global Lemur satellites carrying Global Navigation Satellite System radio-occultation payloads. Electron's first stage then completed a parachute-assisted Pacific splashdown and was recovered by ship.
