Electron is a two stage vehicle that uses Rocket Lab’s Rutherford liquid engine on both stages.

The first Electron launch is planned for 2015, with commercial operations scheduled to begin in 2016. At a cost of $4.9M Electron is the most affordable dedicated launch service for small satellites to Low Earth Orbit.

If the first launch is planned for 2015 (we're already in October, shouldn't they have done that already?), I doubt they'll be able start their operations in 2016, at least if they want them to succeed.

And the rockets are made to launch 150Kg satellites to low Orbit, which is far, far away from the Moon.
