"In Focus" will carry commercial Earth-imaging satellites for US company Planet and Japan's Canon. It comes after Rocket Lab co-founder and CEO Peter Beck has been tweeting pics taken by the inhouse satellite launched last month to showcase his company's Photon platform. As a New York Times headline put it, "The search for life on Venus could start with Rocket Lab".
