Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle launched the “Pics Or It Didn’t Happen” mission from Launch Complex 1 on Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand, on 4 July 2020, at 21:19 UTC (05 July, at 09:19 NZST).
Due to issues with the second stage, the mission failed to reach orbit.
The “Pics Or It Didn’t Happen” mission was supposed to deliver seven small satellites to a 500km circular low Earth orbit, including Canon Electronics Inc.’s CE-SAT-IB designed to demonstrate Canon’s Earth-imaging technology with high-resolution and wide-angle cameras. The mission was Electron’s 13th launch.
