Space company Rocket Lab has announced it will launch an unmanned mission to the moon from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula later this year.
An Electron rocket will put a NASA satellite called CAPSTONE into orbit around the Earth, before its Photon spacecraft will "separate and use its 3D-printed HyperCurie engine to provide in-space propulsion to allow CAPSTONE to break free of Earth’s gravity and set a course for the moon", Rocket Lab said on Saturday.
