Rocket Lab’s first mission from Virginia delayed until 2023

We’re going to have to wait a little longer for Rocket Lab’s American debut. The company, which is headquartered in Los Angeles, was due to launch a trio of satellites for radio-frequency analytics customer HawkEye 360 to orbit from the company’s new site at Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. It would’ve marked the first time a Rocket Lab vehicle has taken off from U.S. soil. But the company said late yesterday that strong upper-levels winds made today — the final day in the launch window — a no-go, pushing the launch to January.
It’s certainly a bummer.
