7 hours until Rocket Lab's second launch of 2024!

An Electron + Curie rocket will be launching out of Launch Complex 1B, Māhia Peninsula. The payload is a JAXA technology demonstration spacecraft for future space debris-removal missions.

Launch scheduled for 2024-02-18 14:52 UTC, 2024-02-19 03:52 NZDT.

Launch thread with more info has been posted over at !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works:

🇳🇿 RocketLab "On Closer Inspection" Launch Thread!

Would any spaceflight/rocket enthusiasts be interested in setting up a Rocket Lab community?
