Four-hour launch windows, opening at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, are available daily through July 5.<\/p>\n<p>The company had planned to carry out the launch in April but <a href=\"https:\/\/spacenews.com\/technical-issue-delays-next-rocket-lab-electron-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">postponed the launch after detecting a problem with a motor controller<\/a> for a pump in one of the rocket\u2019s nine first stage engines. At the time of that delay the company hoped to reschedule the launch for May, but diagnosing the problem took longer than expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the wet dress rehearsal we saw some really weird behavior in one of the motor controllers,\u201d Peter Beck, chief executive of Rocket Lab, said in an interview. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t quite explain it. It was one of these faults that had a really non-obvious root cause.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3501&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>Beck said that Rocket Lab was already in discussions about flying those satellites on a later mission when the opportunity opened up to include them on this launch. The company has been building up capabilities to quickly do the necessary analysis for integrating payloads on its rockets.<\/p>\n<p>Those payloads join three others previously manifested on the rocket. Two are Lemur-2 satellites from Spire and one is a satellite built by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems for GeoOptics. All the payloads will be launched into an orbit of 250 by 500 kilometers at an inclination of 85 degrees, after which a Rocket Lab kick stage will circularize the orbit.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the delay, Rocket Lab is still planning to reach a cadence of one launch a month this year. Beck said that the next launch, for NASA\u2019s Venture Class Launch Services program, will be \u201cpretty close on the heels\u201d of this launch, but the company hasn\u2019t announced a launch date for that mission yet.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]May 2018[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]LOS ANGELES \u2014 Rocket Lab announced May 25 it has rescheduled the next launch of its Electron small rocket for late June after correcting a problem that delayed an April launch attempt.
