After a 20 minute hold, the countdown has resumed for NASA’s PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission.
This second satellite about the size of a shoebox waits on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket for liftoff on the mission’s second and final launch.
The launch, named “PREFIRE and Ice” by Rocket Lab, is now targeted for Saturday, June 1, at 3:46 p.m. NZST (11:46 p.m. EDT Friday, May 31).
