Rocket Lab said Wednesday it expects to resume Electron launches before the end of the year after a September failure. The company announced it received authorization from the FAA to resume launches although the investigation into the Sept. 19 launch failure is not yet complete. The company has released few details about the cause of the failure but suggested it involved a complex chain of events involving the upper stage. Rocket Lab expects to complete the investigation and resume launches later in the quarter.
