Mission details:

• Rocket Lab′s tenth mission, dubbed 'Running Out Of Fingers', was launched from New Zealand on Dec 6, 2019. The main payload was the 75 kg ALE-2 for Astro Live Experiences (Tokyo), which plans to create artificial meteors for entertainment.
  Several small PocketQube payloads were also put in orbit. The PQ sats are smaller than a 1U cubesat; a 1P is 0.25 kg, 0.05m cube. The PQ deployers were developed by Alba Orbital of Glasgow, and ejected:
  NOOR 1A and 1B, SMOG-P, ATL-1, FossaSat and TRSI-Sat.
• The first stage performed a controlled, instrumented reentry and impacted the ocean. The second stage reached a 180 x 409 km orbit at 0827 UTC. At apogee at 0908 UTC, the kick stage fired to a 398 x 415 km orbit and deployed ALE-2. It appears another small burn may have been done at 0916 UTC, with the PQs deployed to an orbit with a 50 km lower perigee at 0918 UTC.
