This was reported by the Air Force Ukraine.

As noted, the rocket successfully landed in space, but failed to reach the orbit.

Nevertheless, New Zealand became the 11th state capable of launching aircraft into space from its territory.

It should be noted that Electron - this Rocket Lab developed ultra-light booster designed to bring into orbit micro- and nanosatellites.

In addition, its height is 17 m, and the diameter is 1.2 m, and the maximum load that it can carry is 225 kg.

By the way, this was the first space launch from New Zealand.

Recall, as previously reported URA-Inform, from the test site in the Mojave Desert in California, the first test launch of the Vector-R rocket intended for launching microsatellites into orbit.
