🚀 Ever wondered how the Electron rocket is raised to vertical before liftoff? On the launch pad, Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket is transported horizontally and then carefully lifted to a vertical position using a specialized hydraulic erector system. This precise process ensures the rocket is securely aligned and ready for final checks before launch. #ElectronRocket #RocketLab #SpaceTech #LaunchPrep #RocketScience #SpaceFlight #Aerospace #Liftoff | ISRO Spaceflight Now
