Rocket Lab launched five "Internet of Things" (IoT) satellites to orbit on Sunday night (Nov. 24), continuing to build out a constellation for the French company Kinéis.

An Electron launcher carrying five of Kinéis' spacecraft lifted off from Rocket Lab's New Zealand site Sunday at 10:55 p.m. EST (0355 GMT and 4:55 p.m. local New Zealand time on Nov. 25).

The five IoT nanosatellites were deployed into a 400-mile-high (643 kilometers) orbit about 66 minutes after liftoff as planned. The achievement pushed Rocket Lab's lifetime satellites-deployed tally over 200, to 203.
