Launch update 🚀We stood down from today’s launch attempt due to LOx temperatures being out of bounds for flight, but the resolution is well underway for the next attempt.
After assessing the weather, we are now targeting no earlier than Wednesday 5 June NZST for the launch of PREFIRE and Ice, the second of two climate launches for @NASA.

Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket is vertical on the pad at Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand, loaded with the second of two identical 6U CubeSats for NASA’s PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission to help close a gap in our understanding of how much of Earth’s heat is lost to space from the Arctic and Antarctica. Liftoff of the second CubeSat launch, which Rocket Lab named “PREFIRE and Ice” was targeted for Saturday, June 1, 2024 but was scrubbed for the day. Photo credit: Rocket Lab

Second stage engine shut down completed as planned! Electron is in orbit and the Kick Stage now takes over the mission with PREFIRE-2 still attached. Target orbit: 525km. Right now though we're in a coast phase ahead of payload deployment around 40 mins from now.

PREFIRE-2 for @NASA has been deployed! That’s mission success for Electron on our 49th launch.
The mission to detect heat loss to space from the Arctic and Antarctic now begins for @NASAJPL. -
