Be aware, this is rocket surgery.

Small disturbances can lead to postponed launches. Making sure everything is just right is way cheaper than risking big fireworks.

The launch takes place at Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.

The mission is called As the Crow Flies.
This mission will carry a technology demonstration on a 16 U CubeSat with propulsion.

Why it's interesting:

  • The engines are 3D printed
  • Fuel pumps are battery powered.
  • The stages are built out of carbon composite material.
  • 9th launch of the Electron rocket by Rocket Lab
  • Kiwis in space

Where to watch:
15 minutes before launch.

Or

When: 00:41 UTC, 17th October 2019.
