SCRUB! Today's Electron (see: www.rocketlabusa.com ) launch attempt, at Rocket Lab's seaside launch complex in New Zealand, has been scrubbed. They will try again to launch "Still Testing" (as they have named this second round of their two-stage Electron satellite launch vehicle) tomorrow (Monday [Tuesday in New Zealand]) at the same time, with the launch window opening at 8:30 PM EST (0130 GMT) and extending for 4 hours. As the company reported online about today's scrub:

"Still Testing launch attempt scrubbed for the day," the company tweeted. "Weather factors and orbital traffic mean opportunities for launch today are tight, so we'll try again tomorrow. Updates on new launch target to follow." The live coverage will be available *here*: https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/12/...-status-center/
