High winds & stormy skies continue for most of this week at LC-1, so we’re waiting for that to clear before the first of 2 @NASA TROPICS launches lifts off. Stay tuned for updates on target launch date soon as the forecast settles in the coming days. #RocketLikeAHurricane 🛰️🌧️🚀

A weather front is headed toward LC-1, so we’re pushing lift-off a few days to the right for the #RocketLikeAHurricane launch to deploy the @NASA TROPICS satellites. We’ll assess the weather as it evolves over the weekend and confirm the new target date soon. 🌧️🌬️🚀

🛰🛰A pair of TROPICS #CubeSats are in the eye of the storm - or rather, in the nose of an Electron rocket!

Teams encapsulated the cyclone-tracking satellites at @RocketLab's processing facility in Mahia, New Zealand.

Get ready to #RocketLikeAHurricane early next week!
