It's a big step for the company which needs to prove it can fulfill its goal of sending small payloads to space at low cost.
The second test flight was delayed from its planned launch in December due to a power fault, while the company's first test flight failed to reach orbit.
"Reaching orbit on a second test flight is significant on its own, but successfully deploying customer payloads so early in a new rocket program is almost unprecedented," Rocket Lab CEO and founder Peter Beck said in a statement.
"Rocket Lab was founded on the [principle] of opening access to space to better understand our planet and improve life on it. Today we took a significant step towards that."

Rocket Lab has five Electron vehicles in development, and said it expects to launch more than 50 times a year.
The company's engineers will use the data from Sunday's launch to help plan future launches, where they already have signed up customers like NASA, Spire, Planet, Moon Express and Spaceflight.
