After two holds in the countdown to the launch attempt, Rocket Lab has waived off the second launch for NASA’s PREFIRE mission.
Rocket Lab will assess the situation and provide more information and a new launch date when it is available.

Just 130 years ago, this inlet within Glacier Bay National Park was covered by ice hundreds of meters thick. Today, it's ice-free.
The retreat of the ice has exposed a geologically-rich landscape of steep slopes, glacial rivers, ocean tides, and sediment.

Good news: Data from NASA's Earth-observing instrument, TEMPO, is available to the public!
With it, researchers, epidemiologists & experts can analyze air quality data at a neighborhood scale to determine sources of air pollution and improve air quality.

Clouds and water vapor can prevent Earth’s heat from escaping to space. A clear, dry day in the Arctic is like opening a window to let heat out of a stuffy room. The PREFIRE mission will help understand how clouds at the poles affect the planet’s climate.

#ICYMI
- Watch PREFIRE embark on its journey into space! The CubeSat is power positive, solar arrays are pointed toward the Sun, & data has been received.🛰️
But this is just one of a pair! We’re preparing to launch the second & final CubeSat in the coming days - stay tuned!🚀
