Rocket Lab is planning to launch a number of NASA funded cubesats from its New Zealand launch site using its Electron rocket. The first opportunities resulted in a weather scrub (there have been spectacular thunderstorms in much of our North Island.) After the last scrub they advised a launch date no earlier than 16 December. Launch windows are 0400 to 0800 UTC and extend to December 21. Updates and video coverage will be available on Rocket Lab's Twitter feed. Weather is less likely to be a consideration if they proceed with the December 16 attempt, the forecast at this stage is for excellent weather with no mention of thunderstorms.
