Space Force Launches 'Victus Haze' Mission with Rocket Lab and True Anomaly

The mission aims to demonstrate rapid deployment and on-orbit threat response capabilities, enhancing U.S. readiness against space-based threats.

The U.S. Space Force has partnered with Rocket Lab and True Anomaly to execute the 'Victus Haze' mission, focusing on tactically responsive space capabilities.
'Victus Haze' involves two spacecraft performing rendezvous and proximity operations to simulate a realistic threat scenario in orbit.
The mission is part of a broader effort by the Space Force to develop quick-reaction capabilities against adversarial actions in space.
Rocket Lab and True Anomaly have committed significant resources, with launch timelines set for no later than fall 2025.
This initiative follows the successful 'Victus Nox' mission, which demonstrated rapid satellite deployment and operational readiness.
