Rocket Lab's next launch from Mahia will bring up a series of milestones, the company says.
Rocket Lab today announced its next mission launch from Mahia would be in mid-September.
“The mission is the second of a bulk buy of three Electron launches by Synspective to deliver their StriX satellites
to low Earth orbit, said Rocket Lab founder and chief executive Peter Beck.
“StriX-1 is Synspective's first commercial satellite for its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation to deliver imagery that can detect millimetre-level changes to the Earth's surface from space, independent of weather conditions on Earth and at any time of the day or night.”
“The Owl Spreads Its Wings” will be Rocket Lab's third mission for Synspective after successful launches in December 2020 and February 2022.
