Default 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."
