SALT LAKE CITY A woman is in critical condition after being stabbed multiple times on a Utah Transit Authority TRAX platform in Salt Lake City.

According to UTA spokesman Carl Arky, the stabbing occurred around 4:30 p.m. at the station on 900 South and 200 West.

The victim was purchasing a ticket from the kiosk when a man came up from behind her, put his arm around her and stabbed her several times. She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

Arky said early Friday evening that the woman's age and identity were unknown. A suspect was arrested, but his name was not released yet.

It was unclear as of Friday if the attack was random, targeted, or whether the two knew each other.

The emergency response and crime scene investigation temporarily disrupted the TRAX red and blue lines.

"We're sorry for any inconvenience, but we're mostly concerned for the safety and the well-being of the victim in this case. We hope that she's able to make a rapid recovery," Arky said.

Arky added that there are cameras at the platform that will hopefully help the investigation.

Rocket Lab, a private American aerospace manufacturer and small satellite launch service, achieved a huge milestone Thursday in its efforts to reuse rockets.

After launching a two-stage Electron booster from its New Zealand site, personnel were able to recover the booster from the Pacific Ocean. The company will bring the booster back to shore to test and determine whether it is reusable.

Welcome back to Earth Electron! Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck said in a tweet.

Rocket Lab has been able to carry out 16 launches to date, transporting 30 satellites to orbit for several different customers like TriSept, Swam Technologies and Unseen Labs.

Once we get it back into the factory, its like a CSI [crime scene investigation], really, Beck told reporters during a teleconference. Well pull it all apart and really, really dig into how well each of the components in the subassemblies have performed.

Similar to Elon Musks SpaceX, the main goal is to reduce material costs of each mission. By reusing the booster, Electron missions are expected to become more cost effective, making it possible to launch with more frequency. However, Rocket Labs method of recuperating the boosters is unlike that of SpaceXs, which utilizes its boosters engines to decelerate speed during reentry and add wide legs to land on large concrete pads.

Rocket Lab on the other hand, is trying out a technology CEO calls aero thermal decelerator. The method basically entails using the atmosphere to slow down the rocket, a parachute later deploys from the top of the booster to decelerate it so that the company can get it from the sky with a helicopter.

This is the first time were actually going to do everything but catch it under a helicopter, Beck told reporters before the launch.
