Rocket Lab to try second test launch again from January 20

Rocket Lab will try to launch its second Electron test rocket again over nine days from next Saturday. 

The New Zealand-born aerospace company tried to launch the rocket named ‘Still Testing’ from the MÄhia Peninsula before Christmas last year, but strong wind high in the atmosphere, a power fault, and too much liquid oxygen feeding into the rocket’s engine obstructed multiple launch attempts. 

The company’s founder, Peter Beck, remains realistic. He said he and his team of engineers expected to call off a few launch attempts again over the nine-day window.
