The launch of Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle with the “PREFIRE and Ice” mission, the second of two identical 6U CubeSats for NASA PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission, was aborted “due to an out-of-family sensor reading“ from Pad B at Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand, on 1 June 2024, at 03:44 UTC (15:44 NZST).
