Rocket Lab delays 1st US launch due to unacceptably high winds

[ad_1]

Rocket Lab’s debut launch from American soil will have to wait at least another day after high winds thwarted an attempted liftoff Sunday evening (Dec. 18). 

The Long Beach, California-based company hoped to launch its first U.S. flight of an Electron booster from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia’s Wallops Island Sunday night, but unacceptable upper-level wind speeds forced a delay. The next launch opportunity is on Monday (Dec. 19) at 6 p.m. EST (2300 GMT). You can watch the launch live online, beginning about 40 minutes before liftoff.
