Mission Name: Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
Rocket: Electron
Launch Date: NET October 19, 2024
Launch Site: Launch Complex 1
Launch Time: NET 10:30 UTC
Payload: 1x Commercial Satellite
Mission Overview
Electron's 54th mission is 'Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes', a dedicated mission to low Earth orbit for a confidential commercial customer. The mission will launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 and will be Rocket Lab's 12th launch of 2024, increasing the record number of Electron launches achieved annually since orbital launch services began in 2018. The expedited mission will also be Rocket Lab's fastest turnaround to date: from signed contract to launch date in less than two months.

Rocket Lab's rapid call-up launch capability, its standardized and rapid production of Electron launch vehicles that ensures a rocket can be assigned a payload for on-demand launch within days, responsive launch sites, and its experienced team behind the second most frequently launched U.S. orbital rocket, are key enablers for this mission.

Походу, запад подтягивается к РФ и Китаю по уровню транспарентности: до запуска не объявляется ни аппарат, ни заказчик.

Один объект

2024-201A    61792   2024-201A    93.21   97.94   649   215   0.0318483

... и ещё два. Вместе:

2024-201A    61792   2024-201A   93.21   97.94   649   215   0.0318483
2024-201B    61793   2024-201B    97.64   97.92   652   640   0.0007914
2024-201C    61794   2024-201C   93.04   97.92   646   201   0.0327560

и не понятно, где КикСтейж, где спутник?
Оба должны быть на околокруговой и в одиночестве ступень на эллиптической.

[zandr]

Да, всё просто, наверно. Можно было сразу догадаться, что КикСтейж мог сделать манёвр увода.
И тогда 201А, скорее всего, он и есть. 201В - спутник, а 201С - вторая ступень Электрона - примерно такой перигей был у неё в предыдущих  запусках.

[Брабонт]

Посмотрел на ST, через сутки вся тройка уточнялась на паре витков, т.е. вывод zandr верный. Возможно, что верхняя ступень это С.
Если кикстейджу хватило топлива увестись аж на 430 км, неназванной нагрузкой был кубсат?

[zandr]

Спутник поименовали

2024-201A    61792   2024-201A   92.14   97.93   554   205   0.0257968
2024-201B    61793   PROTOSAT-1    97.45   97.92   642   631   0.0007349
2024-201C    61794   2024-201C   91.49   97.91   505   190   0.0234362

  "PROTOSAT" - прототип спутника?

Jonathan McDowell  @planet4589
The secret commercial sat launched on the most recent Electron has been cataloged by Space Force as 'Protosat-1', with country Rwanda. This essentially confirms it is a sat for E-Space,  which registered its putative satcon with the ITU via Rwanda as a flag  of convenience
