Rocket Lab USA Inc., a small satellite-launch company, sank after a failed mission to space led to the loss of its primary Electron rocket and the payloads it was carrying to orbit.
The rocket took off successfully from New Zealand a few minutes before 3 a.m. New York time, but at two and a half minutes into the flight, the Electron experienced an unspecified issue that ultimately ended the mission.
