In contrast to weeks past, we only have a single mission scheduled to launch this week, an Electron from New Zealand. Due to SpaceX\u2019s anomaly mid-flight last week, its Falcon 9 rocket has been grounded until an investigation is completed.<\/p>\n

        Rocket Lab launching upgraded Capella SAR sat<\/h2>\n

        Rocket Lab\u2019s 14 day launch window will open up this coming Saturday to launch an upgraded synthetic aperture radar satellite for Capella Space. The company provides its services to both government and commercial entities, a growing and lucrative market that\u2019s been emerging over the last few years.<\/p>\n

        This will be Rocket Lab\u2019s fifth mission for Capella, launching Arcadia 1 and 2 satellites, now the company will launch its larger, and more powerful, Arcadia 3.<\/p>\n

        This is the only launch currently scheduled for the week, if at all, as usually Rocket Lab missions push back a few days with better weather reports. It\u2019s a moment to look at just how much SpaceX makes up the global launch market after its Falcon 9 is grounded.<\/p>\n
