Rocket Lab aborts latest launch due to ground support equipment issue
The rocket, carrying five satellite for Kineis, a French operator and provider of space-based internet-of-things (IoT) connectivity, failed to blast off from Rocket Lab’s launch pad on the country's North Island about 11 am (2300 GMT).
Just an abort triggered by a piece of ground support equipment not reaching its target in the allocated time. We like everything on the ground to be just as happy as everything in the sky. https://t.co/y7elp3v39A
