Rocket Lab is set to launch a secret mission early Monday morning (November 4th), and you can watch it live.
The mission, for a “classified commercial customer,” is scheduled to launch on Monday at 5:30 a.m. ET (9:30 GMT) from Rocket Lab’s New Zealand base aboard an Electron vehicle.
Rocket Lab will webcast the launch 30 minutes prior to launch. If Rocket Lab makes the feed available, Space.com will distribute it.
Monday’s mission, which Rocket Lab is calling “Latitude Change, Attitude Change,” will send a commercial satellite into low-Earth orbit.
However, that’s pretty much all we know about this. The company did not provide further information, likely at the request of an anonymous customer.

“Changing Latitude, Changing Attitudes” will be Rocket Lab’s 12th launch in 2024 and 54th launch overall. All of these missions are carried out by the 18-meter (59-foot) tall Electron. Electron is designed to fly small satellites exclusively into Earth orbit or beyond. (electronic Launched NASA’s CAPSTONE mission and sent a cubesat to the moon. )
But if everything goes according to plan, things could change soon. Rocket Lab is developing a larger, partially reusable rocket called Neutron that is expected to debut next year.
