We're bringing back the helicopter.
Catch Me If You Can - our next recovery mission to catch Electron in the sky with a helicopter - is set to launch in just three days' time. More info: https://bit.ly/3zzfDWX
Планируется спасение ступени вертолётом.

Launching from Pad B at Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula, the "Catch Me If You Can" mission will be Rocket Lab's 32nd Electron launch overall and second reusability mission of 2022.
Electron will carry a science research satellite by space systems provider OHB Sweden for the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). The Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography and Spectroscopy (MATS) satellite is the basis for the SNSA's science mission to investigate atmospheric waves and better understand how the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere interacts with wind and weather patterns closer to the ground. MATS was originally due to fly on a Russian launch service before the mission was manifested on Rocket Lab's Electron.

Payload integration complete with OHB Sweden & @RymdstyrelsenSE for MATS! This Swedish national science mission is launching on Electron's recovery mission Nov 04 UTC - more info. https://bit.ly/3sRTH5p

В рамках миссии на солнечно-синхронную орбиту в 585 км будет запущен научно-исследовательский спутник от OHB Sweden в интересах шведского Национального космического агентства (SNSA). The Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography and Spectroscopy (MATS) будет собирать данные, чтобы лучше понять, как верхний слой атмосферы планеты взаимодействует с ветрами и влияет ли это взаимодействие на погодные условия на поверхности Земли.
После выполнения своей миссии, первая ступень Electron должна раскрыть парашют, который снова будет захвачен специально подготовленным вертолётом. После чего ступень транспортируют на берег, отцепят и доставят на объект компании для изучения пригодности к повторному использованию.
Это будет 9-й запуск года Rocket Lab и 32-й запуск в истории компании.

MISSION OVERVIEW
Launching from Pad B at Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula, the "Catch Me If You Can" mission will be Rocket Lab's 32nd Electron launch overall and second reusability mission of 2022.
"Catch Me If You Can" will see Rocket Lab attempt to capture the rocket's first stage mid-air with a helicopter as it returns from space. Using a modified Sikorsky S-92 helicopter to catch and secure the rocket by its parachute line, Rocket Lab will bring the captured stage back to its Auckland Production Complex to be processed and assessed by engineers and technicians for possible re-use.
Electron will carry a science research satellite by space systems provider OHB Sweden for the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). The Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography and Spectroscopy (MATS) satellite is the basis for the SNSA's science mission to investigate atmospheric waves and better understand how the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere interacts with wind and weather patterns closer to the ground. MATS was originally due to fly on a Russian launch service before the mission was manifested on Rocket Lab's Electron.

We've just had an update from the recovery team and unfortunately it looks like we are not going to bring Electron home dry today, but we do have the back up option of an ocean splashdown so we'll bring you updates on that operation in the hours to come
Поймать в воздухе не удалось...
(Не догнал?)
Будут вылавливать из воды.

After a great launch, we can confirm the primary mission is on track! Unfortunately no helicopter catch attempt today due to telemetry loss from Electron's 1st stage during re-entry. As standard procedure, we pull the helicopter from the recovery zone if this happens
Не стали ловить из-за потери телеметрии со ступени при возвращении.
