Photo: Three US Intel Satellites Will Launch From New Zealand in June After COVID-19 Delay

The launch of three US intelligence satellites from New Zealand has been rescheduled for June 11 after it was delayed by more than two months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The launch of the three National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) payloads was originally scheduled for March 27 but was postponed after the New Zealand government implemented restrictions to halt the spread of COVID-19 on March 23.
