Electron's kick stage is now in elliptical orbit for around 42 mins. At approx T+51 minutes the kick stage's Curie engine will ignite and circularize its orbit before deploying the payloads. Webcast will be back for payload deploy. Enjoy some tunes from @Erdayastronaut until then

NABEO, from High Performance Space Structure Systems GmbH (Munich) is an experiment which stays attached to the Curie upper stage. It deploys a 1.6 x 1.6m drag sail to accelerate the stage's reentry.

Curie currently in 210 x 500 km orbit, approaching apogee. Curie engine burn will increase speed so it doesn't fall back down to 210 but stays at 500 as it circles the Earth
