Update: December 18, 2022, 11:45 pm Eastern:

Rocket Lab had a two-hour launch window that would enable its Electron rocket to send its payload to its intended orbit. Unfortunately, high-altitude winds were above allowable safety limits throughout the window. As a result, the launch was postponed. The launch window will be open again at the same time tomorrow night, so we expect that another attempt will be made then.
