Rocket Lab will now launch 1st Electron booster from US on Dec. 13

The industrial launch firm Rocket Lab should wait a couple of extra days for its first-ever launch from U.S. soil because of unhealthy climate. 

The California-based Rocket Lab, which has been launching small satellites on its Electron rockets from New Zealand since 2017, is now focusing on no sooner than Tuesday (Dec. 13) for the primary flight from its new U.S. launch pad on Wallops Island, Virginia. The mission was initially scheduled to launch right now (Dec. 9) to ship six HawkEye 360 satellites to watch world radio frequencies.
