LIVE: Rocket Lab's 2nd attempt to catch booster with helicopter + Q&A with Raw Space
This is a replay of the live stream. Today's launch was successful, but the mid-air catch attempt was called off by the pilot. Rocket Lab did not elaborate on the reason why.
12:40 pm EDT (16:40 UTC) Q&A with Raw Space.
12:55 pm EDT (16:55 UTC) Main broadcast.
1:27 pm EDT (17:27 UTC) Launch time.
Launch site: Launch Complex 1B, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand
Destination: 585 km Sun-Synchronous Orbit
A Rocket Lab Electron rocket will launch the Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography and Spectroscopy (MATS) satellite from OHB Sweden for the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). Rocket Lab will also conduct their 2nd booster catch attempt. The booster will descend under a parachute, and a hook hanging from a Sikorsky S-92 helicopter will snag a secondary line with a drogue chute. Their 1st catch attempt on May 2, 2022 was partially successful: the helicopter hooked the line, but the pilot subsequently released it because it was jerking the vehicle around too much.
