ЦитироватьRocket Lab will launch a dedicated mission for Capella Space, a provider of SAR imagery data and solutions for government and commercial applications.
'A Sky Full of SARs' will be Rocket Lab's fifth launch overall for Capella Space across multiple launch contracts beginning from 2020. The mission is scheduled to launch during a 14-day window that opens on July 21 NZST / July 20 UTC from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula. The mission will deploy Capella's Acadia-3 SAR satellite, a synthetic aperture radar satellite for Earth imagery and observation, to a mid-inclination 615km circular orbit to add to Capella's existing SAR satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.

The C13 mission patch for the July 20 UTC launch with @Rocketlab is here. A play on the British song "A Sky Full of Stars", C13 is a symbol of our mission heritage with SAR technology and business in the European region.

Launch update
Our next Electron launch will move to a later date at the request of mission partner @capellaspace so they can complete additional testing. With rockets at the ready, we'll be moving to our next mission in the manifest with @synspective, now flying next on Electron within the next few weeks.
This is Electron's tailored launch service at its best, demonstrating the value and market demand for dedicated small launch. Flying dedicated means customers have flexibility over their launch schedule so that their satellites aren't left behind if they miss a launch deadline, like on traditional rideshare missions.
