Rocket Lab Launch Update: Don’t Stop Me Now
The countdown is on for Rocket Lab’s 12th Electron launch, the ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ mission from Launch Complex 1.
This mission was originally slated to launch in late March but was postponed due to the COVID-19 situation. (Perhaps we tempted fate with the mission name.) It’s great to be back on the pad.
The mission will lift payloads for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra Space.

Rocket Lab is currently targeting no earlier than 04:43, 11 June UTC for lift-off.
