Rocket Lab preps for 30th launch, makes strides in engine reuse

Rocket Lab is set to launch its 30th mission from New Zealand Thursday with a commercial Japanese radar remote sensing satellite. While the company does not plan to retrieve the Electron rocket on this mission, engineers recently test-fired an engine recovered from a flight recovered earlier this year, another step toward Rocket Lab’s goal of reusing first stage boosters.
