"A live broadcast of the mission will be made available at approximately T-20 minutes to launch. We will attempt to provide a live view of the catch from the helicopter, but due to the remote location where the capture will take place, we do expect some video loss," reads the website.One thing is for sure, when Rocket Lab does manage to complete its mission it will be nothing short of extraordinary.

The company's Electron booster will avoid disintegrating on re-entry thanks to the addition of heat shielding for this mission, added to protect it from temperatures of roughly 2,400 °C. As it nears the Earth's surface, the rocket will deploy two parachutes that will slow it down to 22.3 mph. This is when a Sikorsky S-92 helicopter hovering at the landing zone will approach the booster and use a grappling hook to capture it as it glides down to sea level.
