Rocket Lab sets next launch date for December<\/h2>\n

In a post on social media, Rocket Lab shared a photo of its next payload, a synthetic aperture radar satellite from Japanese company iQPS, being integrated to its Electron rocket. The company also shared that the launch is set for no earlier than December 13.<\/p>\n

Called TSUKUYOMI-I, it is the fifth SAR satellite from iQPS with the first two being prototypes and the second two being full scale production satellites. Sadly, those production satellites failed to reach orbit after launching on a Japanese Epsilon rocket in 2022.<\/p>\n
