NGA Rocket Launching and Space Debris notices.

The two Space Debris areas are not aligned with the Rocket Launching area. Perhaps there are errors in the NGA notice?

That’s a wrap on launch dress rehearsal, but with high winds approaching Launch Complex 1 we’re now targeting no earlier than December 15th NZDT for the launch of #TheMoonGodAwakens for @QPS_Inc

I’ll be streaming this one! Return to flight for Electron!!! Excited to see this baby back to flying after being grounded from a failure of a second stage. The root cause was a high voltage arc which took out the electronics. Glad it’s back!!!

Scrubs and delays have highlighted this week so far, but there is still a lot of rocket action to come.
