Rocket Lab is targeting Thursday for another launch attempt after its Electron rocket lift-off was aborted today with two seconds to go.
The company said the vehicle ''performed a safe auto-sequence abort'' as sensors were not nominal.
The rocket that was near the end of its two-minute launch sequence from its pad on the Mahia Peninsula when it was halted. Its nine Rutherford engines were scheduled to ignite at two seconds from lift-off.
Rocket Lab said the weather was not good for a launch attempt tomorrow, so
it would target launching the rocket, named ''Still Testing,'' on Thursday. It would not be attempted before 2.30pm.
It had previously warned the launch could be halted at 0.1 seconds before lift off.
