Hi All -

Now that there are actual flights, I hope that a RL enthusiast is planning to maintain the leading post of this thread - it'd be nice to track their flight record.

??? (politely)

The most recent iteration of the Rocket Lab launch schedule is several replies up-thread here, most recently updated after the December 16 launch.

Launch schedule updates are reply posts in this thread, just as they are for the launch threads in the several national launch sub-forums.
