The company Rocket Lab plans to launch an Electron rocket from the Mahia Peninsula on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island during a two week long launch window that opens on June 23rd. This will be the company’s third launch and, they hope, the second one to successfully put payloads into orbit. Here is a NZ TV news report on the company:
