Rocket Lab Aims At New Mission August 27th

Huntington Beach-based Rocket Lab is hoping to get back into the air, after the failure of a mission in July, saying it now hopes to launch a new commercial mission sometime around August 27th. Rocket Lab saw a launch failure on July 4th, when an electrical connector detached one its Electron rocket, apparently due to thermal expansion and contraction. Rocket Lab has not said what customers will be on that August 27th mission, which wil be out of its New Zealand launch site.
