Rocket Lab Trying Again For Rocket Recovery

Hawthorne, California-based Rocket Lab will attempt its first rocket recovery via helicopter today, after a shift in the company's launch window for its "There And Back Again" launch from Friday. The company says its next launch window is today, May 2nd, between 22:35 and 00:40 UTC. The launch will be in New Zealand. Rocket Lab plans to livestream its first try at a rocket recovery from the air. The company is moving along the path to re-using the first stage of its Electron rockets, which are small rockets used to launch cubesats and other small satellites into orbit.
