Rocket Lab has launched its Electron rocket carrying a science research satellite from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula.

However, the Electron deployed the satellite an hour after lift-off as planned. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
