Made in New Zealand -Electron ‘Still Testing’ at Rocket Lab LC-1

On Monday 11th December 2017 New Zealand – Rocket Lab is set to launch its second attempt of its Home grown, Made in New Zealand of its Electron Rocket launch from its launch complex one at Mahia Peninsula in at starting launch window of 1430 to 1830 hours New Zealand time in which that time translate towards 0830 to 1330 hours Hong Kong Time……

One of the Payloads that’s involve with the Still Testing launch is the CubeSats- micro satellites in which are two imaging Earth Dove satellites for Planet, also paired with a Spire dual weather reconnaissances Lemur 2 satellites in which will be used to data observationally collect of weather information analysis also provisionment for assisting of marine vessel traffic monitoring … the various payloads are launched from Made In New Zealand, Auckland Made Electron Carrier Rocket in which the main fuselage of the rocket is composite of Carbon fibre , powered by those home grown clustering 3D printed Rutherford Engines in similar design heritage that can be founded to those of the China National Space Administration Long March series carrier rockets, as to of the  ROSCOSMOS– ESA’s  Soyuz or Known SpaceX Falcon nine reusable Carrier Rocket..

As to the previous terminate launch “it’s a test” its provided more leaning experiences for the adaptive changes for what’s need from the last launch as there was a communications miscommunications of that launch in provide more what’s need to overcome those barriers..

During the proceedings towards public safety of the launch there will be road closures as to Marine shore boundary closures as to Aircraft Airspace no fly zones..

As to due to weather conditions that didn’t match up with Rocket Lab’s launch Criteria in which also during that time the NASA-National Aeronautics and Space Administration collaboration ISS- International Space Station was in closely directly in its launch path.. in which hopefully the part two of “Still Testing” will commerce on Tuesday 12th December 2017 on the same time with twenty four hour recycle..

One of the sequences of launches that follow during the eve of SpaceX KoreanSat5A in which was launched on a very clear east coast afternoon from the iconic NASA-KSC Launch Complex 39A on the 30th October 2017, Korean Television Communications Satellite.. On the following Halloween 31st October 2017 day  it’s the Orbital ATK’s Minotaur C rocket that was launched from the other side from the Californian West Coast from Vandenberg Air force Base from Space Launch Complex -SLC-576E weather wise it met the launch criteria.. in which it Launched 1437 Hours Pacific time..

From the timely launch it, accent into deployment twelve minutes after the launch deploying from its removed payload flaring, deploying six SkySat Spacecraft into one by one into Targeting Sun Synchronous orbit 500 Kilometers above Earth…  Follow on multiple piggy backing payloads is the final of deployment of four Dove Satellite Spacecraft’s into the same..

The sequences of deployments for home-grown made Californian manufactured SkySat also Dove Spacecraft operate in combinations with each other as they provide the provisionment of remote sensing of Data and Telecommunications towards non and governmental organisations business… in which this case the client was for Planet labs Inc. whom provides extremely high ultra-resolution  rich orbital imagery of Earth Terrain from orbit..
