https://synspective.com/press-release/2024/launch-agreement-rocketlab/

TOKYO, 2024, June 18th – Synspective Inc., a provider of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data and analytics solutions, has signed its largest launch agreement to date. The ten-launch deal is with Rocket Lab, a global leader in launch services and space systems. Synspective founder and CEO Dr. Motoyuki Arai, Rocket Lab founder and CEO Sir Peter Beck, and New Zealand's Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Christopher Luxon attended the announcement event at the Tokyo Imperial Hotel. Luxon is on his first visit to Japan as Prime Minister, leading a business delegation to meet investors and strengthen bilateral ties.

Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for Synspective's StriX constellation, successfully deploying four StriX satellites across four dedicated Electron launches since 2020. In addition to the 10 new dedicated launches signed today, another two launches for Synspective have already been booked and are scheduled for launch this year from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The launches in the new deal will take place across 2025 and 2027.
By launching as the dedicated payload on Electron, Synspective controls the launch schedule and the precise deployment parameters for each satellite. This enables the company to build a satellite constellation on its terms and maximize coverage for its partners and customers.

Mission Name: A Sky Full Of SARs
Rocket: Electron
Launch Date: NET July 20 UTC
Launch Site: Launch Complex 1
Launch Time: Launch window opens 19:15 UTC
Payload: Acadia-3

Mission Overview

Rocket 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.

Rocket Lab  @RocketLab
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.

Mission Name: Owl For One, One For Owl
Rocket: Electron
Launch Date: TBC
Launch Site: Launch Complex 1
Launch Time: TBC
Payload: New StriX Satellite

Mission Overview

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 millimetre-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

The flight version of the FPI-240-LEO has been installed into the electronics enclosure and attached to the LOXSAT payload. Upon final assembly, the payload will undergo integrated acceptance testing including vibration, EMI, and thermal vacuum operation this summer. The payload will then be shipped to Rocket Lab USA in preparation for a February 2025 launch. Once in orbit, the inverter will play a critical role in completing the mission test objectives.

Thread for the second of 5 launches on Electron carrying 5 Kinéis satellites each from LC-1 NET 16 September 2024, at 23:01 UTC. Mission is named "Killed The RadIoT Star".

NSF Threads for Kinéis:
- Mission I (20 June 2024)
- Mission II (16 September 2024)
- Mission III (November 2024)
- Mission IV (December 2024)
- Mission V (February 2025)

Kinéis accidentally leaked their "successful launch" press release:

Mission II Kinéis "Killed The RadIoT Star" Successful
Mission II Successfully Completed

On September 17th at 1:01 AM French time, space welcomed 5 new Kinéis nanosatellites, marking a crucial milestone in the deployment of the constellation. Launched from New Zealand, Rocket Lab once again demonstrated its reliability, ensuring the success of this second mission. With this successful launch, the Kinéis fleet now has ten satellites in orbit, significantly enhancing its operational capabilities.
