(UPDATED) Trying for Rocket Lab Wallops launch

 12/19 UPDATE:

(WBOC)

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. - Rocket Lab officials said late Monday that the unpiloted Electron rocket launch from NASA's Wallops Island Flight Facility has been postponed yet again.

Officials had been hoping to launch the rocket on Tuesday, the final day of the launch window.

However, officials say due to high upper level winds the launch again had to be postponed.

Rocket Lab officials say the launch will not happen until January at the earliest.

The rocket would be Rocket Lab's first launch from Wallops Island. The rocket is carrying a payload for a Virginia based company called HawkEye 360.

The first ever RocketLab launch from the Wallops Flight Facility was once again scrubbed Sunday night due to high level winds. The launch was held until the last possible moment until the call was made shortly after 7:50 PM.

The next attempt will be Monday night. The launch window for the mission is 6-8 p.m. The last two days of the launch window are December 19 & 20.
