Small satellite launch service provider Rocket Lab has revealed plans to bring its Electron rocket booster vehicle back from space.
In the next mission, the company will attempt to recover the rocket as it re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere. It will reduce its speed exceeding Mach 8 and then splash it into the ocean.
Rocket Lab is planning to launch its next mission dubbed as the ‘Running Out of Toes’, from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand next month.
