[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 562528, member: 214"] Rocketlab lost a vehicle in today's launch. At the time of the battery hot swap on the 2nd stage, telemetry showed the rocket slowing. Next the speed started to increase as the altitude decreased.... falling back to Earth. First guess are the hot swap had an issue and the engine shut down. The Rutherford engines on the Electron use electric fuel pumps. They dump 2 batteries when depleted and hot swap to a new set. Gets rid of weight.
