#RocketLab #Electron Launches #StriX #Satellite! 🚀 Owl For One, One For Owl Mission
Witness the spectacular launch of Rocket Lab's Electron rocket as it lifts off from Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand, carrying the StriX satellite for Synspective. The 'Owl For One, One For Owl' mission, conducted on July 30, 2024, is the fifth of 16 planned launches for Synspective, a Japanese Earth observation company. This mission aims to enhance Synspective's constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, designed to deliver high-resolution imagery for various applications, including infrastructure monitoring and disaster assessment.
Rocket Lab will launch a dedicated mission for Synspective, a Japanese Earth observation company deploying a constellation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites designed to deliver imagery that can detect millimeter-level changes to the Earth’s surface from space. The “Owl for One, One for Owl” mission is scheduled to launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand in the coming weeks. In addition to deploying a single StriX satellite to low Earth orbit for this mission, Rocket Lab will perform an advanced mid-mission maneuver with Electron’s Kick Stage to shield the satellite from the sun and reduce radiation exposure.
Rocket Lab's Electron rocket performed an advanced mid-mission maneuver with its Kick Stage to protect the satellite from the sun's radiation, showcasing their innovative approach to satellite deployment. The StriX satellite joins an existing constellation that provides crucial data for monitoring environmental changes, improving safety, and supporting sustainable development.
This video captures the launch sequence. Experience the power and precision of Rocket Lab's Electron rocket as it contributes to the growing capabilities of Earth observation technologies.
