Kiwis in Space!



The launch site is on North Island's Mahia peninsula.
Very interesting deal, here. We're talking about launching small, low-cost creative boxes called cubesats - only a few kilos each, with photographic, weather and agricultural capabilities. New Zealand is well away from commercial air traffic patterns, so there would be little cause for launch delays because of busy skies, and the Kiwis are uniquely positioned to achieve north-south orbit.
