Rocket Lab’s big ‘It’s Business Time’ launch targets this weekend for takeoff
"Upstart launch provider Rocket Lab aims to finally launch its first fully
commercial payload to orbit this weekend after months of delays. The small Electron rocket will take six satellites from four companies to orbit as early as tomorrow evening Pacific time — Sunday afternoon at the company’s launch site in New Zealand. “It’s Business Time,” as this launch is called, in honor of being the first to carry a full load of paying customers, was originally scheduled for this last spring, but small technical glitches have repeatedly delayed operations. Things are looking good for the 11th, though, and the window lasts until the 19th in case there’s inclement weather." See: https://techcrunch.com/2018/11/09/ro...d-for-takeoff/ |
