Rocket Lab has confirmed its return to launch action in November, with a realigned attempt to launch the \u201cIt\u2019s Business Time\u201d mission from its private orbital launch pad in New Zealand, Launch Complex-1 set for November 11. The scrubbed attempt in June required the replacement of motor controllers on the rocket. In announcing the new date, two additional spacecraft will ride on the Electron, while the company also noted it would take the opportunity to conduct the fast turnaround processing that it hopes will become commonplace for the Electron rocket, with a second launch \u2013 for NASA \u2013 the following month, in December.<\/p>\n

A few months ago, via a previously embargoed release, Rocket Lab said the \u201cIt\u2019s Business Time\u201d mission will launch in November, with the ELaNa XIX mission for NASA to follow soon after \u2013 hopefully in December \u2013 from the same LC-1 pad. On Tuesday, Rocket Lab confirmed the date as November 11.<\/p>\n
