Rocket Lab USA, a global company in launch services and space systems, announced a launch window for an upcoming Electron mission to deploy the latest satellite in Synspective\u2019s growing Earth observation constellation. The \u201cOwl The Way Up\u201d mission is scheduled to launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand during a launch window that opens on December 18th NZDT (December 17 UTC). <\/p>\n
The mission will deploy a single StriX satellite to orbit for Synspective. The mission will be the sixth in a total of 16 launches booked on Electron for Synspective, a Japanese Earth observation company operating a constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites designed to deliver imagery that can detect millimetre-level changes to the Earth\u2019s surface from space. Rocket Lab first launched for Synspective in December 2020 and has been the sole launch provider for Synspective\u2019s constellation to date.<\/p>\n
Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck,<\/strong> says: \u201cAs the sole launch provider for Synspective to date, we\u2019ve developed an enduring relationship with their team built on trust and reliability across multiple Electron missions. By flying as the dedicated customer, rather than ridesharing, we\u2019ve put Synspective in control of their launch schedule and mission parameters, affording them a level of control over their mission not traditionally afforded to small satellite operators. We\u2019re looking forward to placing another StriX satellite in orbit and supporting Synspective\u2019s vision to enable persistent monitoring of our planet to support disaster relief, agricultural development, maritime domain awareness and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n Rocket Lab has launched 14 missions to date in 2024, besting the Company\u2019s previous annual launch record of 10 missions achieved in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rocket Lab USA, a global company in launch services and space systems, announced a launch window for an upcoming Electron mission to deploy the latest satellite in Synspective\u2019s growing Earth observation constellation.
