The private space firm is using helicopters to pluck rocket boosters out of the sky.
The U.S. and New Zealand-based company aims to become the second private space firm, after SpaceX, to reuse rocket boosters and engines.
As a point of reference, SpaceX has been reusing its Falcon 9 rocket boosters since 2017. Its most-used Falcon 9 booster has launched and landed. SpaceX performs automated vertical landings, often on droneships out at sea. However, the rockets can come back to land at the launch pad depending on the mission profile.
