NewZealand to join the club of missile launchers. Peacefully this one.
"The U.S.-based Rocket Lab corporation is set to enter the commercial launch market with the maiden flight of its Electron rocket. The small-scale launcher will cater to the small satellite market, with low-end million dollar flights and its revolutionary engine design launching from the Māhia Peninsula from the North Island of New Zealand’s eastern coast.
Rocket Lab, a U.S.-based launch service provider with a New Zealand subsidiary, will become the newest entrant into the world’s launch market with the maiden voyage of its Electron rocket.
The 10-day launch window for Electron’s maiden flight opens at 09:00 NZDT (New Zealand Daylight Time) on Monday, 22 May."
