Electron's second stage engine has shut down as planned and the Kick Stage has successfully separated ahead of payload deployment.


13 мин. назад

The Kick Stage will coast for around 50 minutes, before the Curie engine will ignite to circularize the stage's orbit ahead of payload deployment.

SECO. Staging. On to the Kick Stage.

40 min coast phase.
