Electron is a small-lift launch vehicle made by RocketLab. It is used to launch small satellites to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Its first stage is powered by 9 Rutherford engines and its second stage uses a single Vacuum Rutherford engine. RocketLab’s Rutherford engine is an electric-pump cycle engine that uses kerosene as fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidizer. The first stage also has a parachute for landing in the ocean as it is planned to be reused in the future.
