Construction of world's first private cosmodrome completed in New Zealand

Construction of the first launching site started in December 2015. On Monday, Rocket Lab announced that the construction work was over. The company plans to exploit the complex to launch its Electron launch vehicles, which will lift small satellites and cargoes in an orbit. The first test launches are scheduled for as early as this year.

The company considers remote location of the cosmodrome to be an advantage, since this allows to reach the highest frequency of launches throughout history.
