Galactic Space Solutions Technology succeeded once more with their second flight of Rhea, and second in the group's history on the 13th of April.
The launch came from Launch Complex 1 in Rodriguez Key, Florida, just nine days after the first flight. The almost flawless debut flight of Rhea allowed for a rapid turnaround of the launchpad and new vehicle stack.
"Another successful mission for Rhea, we exceeded our own expectations with the fixes we implemented, minus the secondary mission anomaly for the Booster, we were really hoping to get far past Apogee, but, it is what it is and we will learn from it! We will be back with another mission depending on our customer since our only issue is to find out what happened to the booster." said Allanevator, the GSST's Head of Management. "Overall, really good data from both stages and some important engine performance data that we will use for our new launch vehicle, Theia, also for Rhea for upcoming improvements that will probably debut on Flight 4 or 5."
"Fuck you" Said Chris_HadfieldCA, one of GSST's engineers and the CEO of GTRAD. "Xavier finally did something for once."
Onboard the rocket several cubesats, and the GAS&T 1 satellite by GTRAD, an aviation signal and tracking spacecraft for aircraft around the world. These paylosds were carried to a Medium Earth Orbit, where they were deployed successfully and have been, "Powered on and sending strong signal back home."
"Allan needs to learn how to work fucking boosters." Xavierevator said, the owner of GSST.

The launch for GSST comes at a growing time for the business, which is pushing toward becoming an end-to-end space company. This is a time for active acceleration in the group, coming shortly after the announcement of their next vehicle, Theia.
"The mission was an overall success, a few minor issues to work out for next time. Primary mission was flawless, the second objectives will be attempted next flight." Xavierevator said. The secondary mission objectives for Rhea's flight was for the booster to survive re-entry and experience a hard splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean.
"Hang yourself." ChrisHadfield said.
It is noted that Rhea continues to secure more and more payload contracts as they progress with their program and prepare to bring the larger and reusable Theia rocket to the market mid-2025. But the pace of launch will continue to be driven by customer demand.
