The device is scheduled to launch in May, but the launch has been delayed several times due to system checks and other testing.

The American company Rocket Lab has launched an Electron launch vehicle with NASA’s CAPSTONE mini-satellite on the moon. This was reported by Space.com.

The launch of an 18-meter rocket with a 25-kilogram satellite took place on June 28 at 12.55 Kyiv time. The rocket was launched from a spaceport on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand.

CAPSTONE is testing the stability of NASA’s orbit plan to use for Gateway’s future space station.

The NASA spacecraft is scheduled to enter lunar orbit on November 13th.

We will remind, earlier Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi took a photo and video of the rotating second phase of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which flew to the moon.
