VICTUS HAZE Puma

Puma, a Rocket Lab Pioneer-class spacecraft, is one of two coordinated satellites in the VICTUS HAZE exercise. After launch, Puma will rendezvous in orbit with Jackal - a True Anomaly Autonomous Orbital Vehicle launched separately by Firefly Aerospace - and the pair will conduct proximity operations and collect space domain awareness data.

Tactically Responsive Space-4 (TacRS-4) is a U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command program designed to demonstrate the ability to deploy and operate satellites rapidly, compressing the timeline from mission tasking to on-orbit capability.
