  • Why wasn't this covered on our media?? Never mind, I know why........

    They just don't care and saw no commercial advantage to breaking the story. They just missed the next great technological advance for our world - becoming a true space-faring civilization.

  • It is great that NZ can do this without spending the billions, it took us (USA) to do the same thing.

  • Have you thought about ramjet boosters? Great work!!!!

  • I know why you haven't done this yet but when will you put up a satellite into orbit ?

  • Why does it say atea 1 on the side ?

  • Musicman53: the sonic boom travels in the same direction as the rocket. In this case nobody heard anything.

  • On a more positive note; you guys rock! That was a fabo effort and you definitely deserve the next round at the pub.

  • Congratulations on the successful launch and incident-free flight of Ātea-1 today!

    Best wishes for the future of your venture.

  • This is the first rocket program in the southern hemisphere. Rocket Lab have developed a whole lot of new composite components, fuel and coatings and are getting aerospace enquiries from around the world. They have the whole southern hemisphere sounding rocket market to themselves, plus a lot of interest from the northern hemisphere, their costs are so radically lower. Very clever stuff. Watch Peter Beck's talk on Youtube.
