The “Owl The Way Up” mission launched from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand to deploy a single StriX satellite to orbit for Synspective. The mission was 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’s surface from space. Rocket Lab first launched for Synspective in December 2020 and has been the sole launch provider for Synspective’s constellation to date.
