Being granted an unmanned aircraft operator certificate is a "very transformative step" for Dawn Aerospace, general manager James Powell says.

In January last year, the Christchurch-based company signed a memorandum with the Waitaki District Council that made launching its space planes from Oamaru Airport a possibility.

A flight attendant who visited an Auckland supermarket has tested positive for Covid-19.

Fourteen other air crew are being contacted and asked to isolate and re-test, the Ministry of Health said.

It is not ruling out local transmission of the virus in Auckland, but says the risk to the public is low.

An Air New Zealand crew member has tested positive for COVID-19 during routine surveillance testing.

They returned to Auckland from Tokyo, Japan on February 28 on flight NZ90 and returned a negative COVID-19 result. But they returned a positive test result on Sunday after being tested on Saturday during routine testing.

Well here we go again... to it seem easy tp me that even though they test negative they still need to be isolating like every one else that comes into the country that has been in another country... Border staff are the weakest link and they themselve need to be isolating and rotating their staff, not just relying on testing. 

Rotate the staff so they can get time with family...

Intelligence agencies in New Zealand are being urged to do a better job at blocking a website commonly used by white supremacists.

It comes as a warning from intelligence expert Paul Buchanan who says a ban on the website 4chan is not foolproof, after a threat aimed at two Christchurch mosques was posted on the site this week.

It’s an understatement to say it takes a risk-taker to build a rocket company from scratch in New Zealand.

But Peter Beck seems surprisingly nonchalant about Rocket Lab’s latest mission to build a much larger, “reusable” rocket to capture a different and larger slice of the satellite launch market.

To date, Rocket Lab has successfully introduced the first dedicated small satellite launch vehicle, Electron, which CEO Peter Beck said would never be reusable. Then, the company successfully recovered a first stage. Now, Beck says Rocket Lab is ready to do something else he previously said they’d never do: build a big rocket.
