'To follow along with the Electron’s test flight, Rocket Lab says it will provide updates on its Twitter account. '
'Rather than launch satellites weighing thousands of pounds, the Electron is only meant to launch satellites between 330 and 500 pounds into lower Earth orbit. '
'Later this month, the California-based company will try to pull off the inaugural test flight of its Electron rocket — a new launch vehicle capable of sending small satellites into orbit. '
'Of course, Rocket Lab still has a way to go before it can fulfill its obligations to customers, beginning with this month’s test launch. '
'Aerospace startup Rocket Lab is finally about to launch its first vehicle to space. '
