Watch: Rocket Lab's first launch since failed mission
The failure marked the greatest incident yet for Rocket Lab considering that the business began industrial objectives in 2018.
Southern California-based Rocket Lab said it successfully returned to flight following a launch failure in early July.
The organization's Electron rocket-propelled a 100 kg (220 pounds) Earth perception satellite from its office on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand at 11:05 PM EDT on August 30th.
The mission had already missed two launch schedules in recent days due to poor weather, but fortunately conditions were much more settled for this latest effort, with clear blue skies all around.
Rocket Lab's Electron booster was set to deliver seven small satellites to orbit for July 4's "Pics Or It Didn't Happen" mission, and managed to lift off without a hitch.

Similar to SpaceX, Rocket Lab is developing a reusable rocket system to help it reduce operating costs.
Capella's payload, "Sequoia", is a single 100kg-class microsatellite which will be the first publicly-available satellite in the company's commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) constellation. The team's investigation revealed a component of the system that was not stress-tested as strenuously as it should've been, and Rocket Lab immediately instituted a fix for both future and existing in-stock Electron vehicles in order to get back to active flight in as little time as possible. "Capella's space-based radar can distinguish sub-0.5 meter changes on the outside of the Earth, giving experiences and information that can be utilized for security, agrarian and foundation observing, just as debacle reaction and recuperation", Rocket Lab composed.
Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Peter Beck, said: "Congratulations to the Capella Space team in this first step to building out a new constellation to provide important Earth observation data on-demand". Details about the customer and launch window for Rocket Lab's next Electron launch will be released shortly.
