Rocket Lab does not have a NOAA remote sensing license. I wonder if they will have to cut the second stage feed right before they reach orbit? https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/CRSRA/licenseHome.html

Who is Required to Apply for a License?It is unlawful for any person who is subject to the jurisdiction or control of the United States, directly or through any subsidiary or affiliate to operate a private remote sensing space system without possession of a valid license issued under the Act and the regulations.https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/CRSRA/licenseHome.html
We're working with NOAA to understand where it all sits.https://www.reddit.com/r/space/comments/8a1wwy/i_am_peter_beck_ask_me_anything_about_rocket_lab/dwvciws/
