lab launch complex 1 also known as māhia launch complex or spaceport is a commercial spaceport located close to ahuriri point at the southern tip of māhia peninsula on the east coast of new zealand s north island it is owned and operated by private spaceflight company rocket lab and supports launches of the company s electron rocket for small satellites the facility officially opened on 26 september 2016 utc with the launch of electron on 25 may 2017 it became the first private spaceport to conduct an orbital launch attempt and the first site in new zealand to host such an attempt 3 with the electron launch of 21 january 2018 it became the first private spaceport to host a successful orbital launch location edit the spaceport is located close to ahuriri point at the southern tip of new zealand s māhia peninsula in the hawke s bay region of the north island s east coast the site is a raised plateau surrounded on three sides by cliffs and at an altitude of 104 metres 341 ft the only road access is a single road leading north from the site this crosses the isthmus connecting the peninsula with the rest of the north island before connecting with sh 2 at the settlement of nūhaka the nearest town wairoa lies 50 kilometres 31 mi to the northwest of the launch site around the curve of hawke bay description edit launch complex 1 features a 50 tonne 49 long ton 55 short ton launch platform and tower a hangar for the electron rockets and storage tanks for liquid oxygen and kerosene 4 during the test phase of launch operations which began in may 2017 2 5 the exclusion zone was expected to be an eight kilometre five mile radius from the pad that was predicted to reduce in size once the site became commercially operational 6 history edit site options edit rocket lab announced on 1 july 2015 that it had selected kaitorete spit in new zealand s south island near canterbury as the site of the launch facility for its electron rocket and that it hoped to have construction finished by the end of the year while the site would not permit equatorial launches due to the presence of banks peninsula to the east it was favourable for sun synchronous orbital flights which the company believed would be of primary interest to its customers the site was also logistically favourable as the company wanted to build a rocket production facility in nearby christchurch 7 aerial photo of rocket lab launch complex 1 2022 the māhia peninsula site at onenui station was mentioned in august 2015 as a possible second launch facility 8 it had first been visited by company officials in april 2015 as part of their initial scouting for launch sites 9 and were preparing to submit a resource consent application 8 by mid october the application had been approved by the wairoa district council and hawke s bay regional council only seven days after its submission 9 10 with the gisborne chamber of commerce and the eastland community trust working with rocket lab to support its bid for the mahia site 11 decision for mahia edit on 23 november 2015 rocket lab stated that the māhia peninsula site would be the priority launch facility because of delays in obtaining resource consents for developing at kaitorete spit 11 while certain authorisations had been obtained for kaitorete such as stormwater and air discharge permits from environment canterbury a coastal permit for occupation of the area and a department of conservation permit the christchurch city council had not consented to the development due to an incomplete cultural impact assessment resulting in no action under sections 95 and 104 of the resource management act 1991 12 the company said that efforts would continue to gain consent for a launch pad on kaitorete spit due to its logistical superiority and the foreseen need for additional facilities but that the mahia site offered superior launch corridor and flight rate opportunities because of its geographical location and relatively sparse air traffic a license was granted for the mahia site with a maximum launch rate of once every 72 hours over a period of 30 years while the kaitorete site would only have been licensed to launch once per month 12 13 the company broke ground at mahia in december 2015 and by june 2016 most of the infrastructure work had been completed including upgrades to roads and internet services and work was progressing on the electrical mechanical and communications infrastructure 10 rocket lab signed an agreement with air traffic service provider airways new zealand in early september 2016 to develop special use airspace 14 the māhia peninsula site named rocket lab launch complex 1 was officially opened on 26 september 2016 utc in a ceremony presided over by minister for economic development steven joyce it was attended by approximately 240 people including company employees local landowners and then labour party leader andrew little 6 15 launch history edit main
