Rocket Lab’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” mission, launching from their Launch Complex 1 situated on the serene Mahia peninsula in New Zealand, will fly five payloads into orbit atop its Electron rocket. That’s one each for NASA’s ELaNa program and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), along with three for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Despite its colourful name, this mission is somewhat sombre, having been named in memory of former Rocket Lab board member, Stanford Scott Smith – an avid fan of the iconic rock band Queen – who recently passed away.
