SpaceX's Historic Catch and Rocket Lab's Speedy Launch
South Texas, USASaturday, October 19, 2024
Rocket Lab is also making waves. They just added a last-minute mission, set to launch from New Zealand this weekend. This quick turnaround, named "Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes, " is a big deal. It shows how fast they can get a rocket ready to go. The US Space Force is taking note, as they want to quickly replace satellites if something goes wrong.
Down in Nova Scotia, Canada is getting ready for its first orbital launch. A spaceport developer, Maritime Launch Services, has partnered with a rocket firm, Reaction Dynamics. They're starting with a suborbital launch, which is like a test run. If all goes well, Canada could soon join the club of countries that launch their own rockets.
