Rocket Lab launched a South Korean satellite Thursday night. An Electron lifted off at 8:21 pm EST (0121 GMT Friday) from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, placing into sun-synchronous orbit the NEONSAT-1A satellite. The satellite, developed by South Korean university KAIST, is the second in an 11-satellite system to provide high-resolution imaging of the Korean Peninsula and surrounding region. The launch was scheduled for December but scrubbed twice because of technical issues.
