REPLAY: Rocket Lab "catch & release" in mid-air with helicopter! (2 May 2022)

This is a replay of the live stream. Launch window: 6:41 - 8:40 pm EDT (22:41 - 00:40 UTC) Launch site: Launch Complex 1A, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand Destination: Low Earth Orbit The “There and Back Again” mission, Rocket Lab’s 26th Electron launch, will lift off from Pad A at Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand’s Māhia Peninsula within a 14-day launch window scheduled to commence on April 19, 2022 UTC. Electron will deploy 34 payloads from commercial operators Alba Orbital, Astrix Astronautics, Aurora Propulsion Technologies, E-Space, Unseenlabs, and Swarm Technologies via global launch services provider Spaceflight Inc. The launch is expected to bring the total number of satellites launched by Electron to 146. For the first time, Rocket Lab will also attempt a mid-air capture of Electron’s first stage as it returns from space after launch, the next major step in the Company’s development program to make Electron a reusable rocket. Rocket Lab will be attempting the catch with a customized Sikorsky S-92, a large twin engine helicopter typically used in offshore oil & gas transport and search and rescue operations. Delayed from Apr 22, 27, 28, 29 due to unfavorable weather in the recovery area. Delayed from May 1 for "final helicopter and recovery system optimization".
