NEXT LAUNCH

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

Какой такой дополнительный манёвр в середине миссии?

"Дадут угла", как говорят дрифтеры? Развернут избушку к солнцу передом ступенью, а в тень задом спутником?...

[Pirat5]

... Для миссии будет использоваться расширенный головной обтекатель ракеты Electron. Полезную нагрузку планируется развернуть на круговой низкой околоземной орбите высотой 543 км через 57 минут после старта.
.... Одноразовая конфигурация. Возврат и спасение ступени не планируются.

With an increased POV of ~80%, we're standing down from today's launch attempt for @synspective due to weather. Details to come on our new target launch date.

Curious about our next mission's fairing? It was made specifically for the wide body of @synspective's  StriX satellite and is one of the many ways we can tailor our dedicated launches for our customers.
