Показать описание
Mission Name: Ready, Aim, PREFIRE

Launch Date: 25 May, 2024 NZT

Launch Site: Launch Complex 1, Mahia, New Zealand

Customers: NASA

Payloads (Satellites) Launched: PREFIRE
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, short for Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment, is tasked with measuring heat loss from both the Arctic and Antarctica, in an aim to help researchers better understand Earth’s energy budget.
The Arctic and Antarctic help to regulate Earth’s climate by radiating a lot of the heat initially absorbed at the tropics back into space. But for regions like the Arctic, about 60% of that heat escapes to space in the form of farinfrared wavelengths that haven’t been systematically measured.
Changes at Earth’s poles can influence global weather patterns and affect sea level rise. The climate data collected by PREFIRE will help to provide a more accurate read of the future of some of Earth’s coldest, most remote regions - and in turn, the future of our planet

Congrats Rocket Lab on a mission well done!
7th anniversary of the first Electron launch, and we're so close to launch 50!

This was streamed with a 4 minute delay.
We went to the beach at Gisborne Mad Mile to watch with the "live" commentary running on our tablet hotspspotted from my phone.
At T - 00:04:00 approx we saw a bright red light accend from the southern horizon in a slow arc upwards and to our left.

Approx 28, 300 Kph at seco. 
I think that is the highest speed I have seen on an electron launch to date.

What happens to all the 2nd & 3rd stage hardware travelling at orbital velocity? Do they just stay up there?

Anyone else feel like Omega from Bad Batch was narrating this video?

Actually why not film the payload separation? Those space views could be great. Is it too dark to film perhaps?

The nicest thing about Rocket Lab, is that its CEO is not a dick.
