Rocket Lab's HASTE, the suborbital-test version of Electron, flew the classified Curveball mission from Launch Complex 2 at Wallops Island. Although HASTE flights are normally suborbital, the US Space Force catalogued two rocket stages in a roughly 200 km, 40-degree orbit; the payload itself was not catalogued.
