Rocket Lab is "Running out of Fingers" a second time [30.11.19, Scrubbed] + Meteor Machine
EDIT: launch postponed because of pad issues. Second stage umbilical needs a reset and test. Next attempt in a few days.
The mission is called Running Out Of Fingers.
Payload: 5 PocketQube microsatellites and a Meteor Particles Simulator by ALE Co., Ltd.
The meteor simulator will make it possible to order a meteor shower at a specified time and place with colours of your choice.

Be aware, this is rocket surgery.
Small disturbances can lead to postponed launches. Making sure everything is just right is way cheaper than risking big fireworks.
