The Mountain God Guards
Next Launch

Mission Name: The Mountain God Guards
Rocket: Electron
Launch Date: NET June 10, 2025
Launch Site: Launch Complex 1
Launch Time: NET 15:45 UTC
Payload: QPS-SAR-11
Mission Overview
'The Mountain God Guards' is the fourth launch on Electron for multi-launch customer, Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS), a Japan-based Earth imaging company.
The mission will launch a single synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite called QPS-SAR-11 (nicknamed YAMATSUMI-I for the Japanese god of mountains) to a 575km circular Earth orbit, from where the satellite will join the rest of the iQPS constellation in providing high resolution images and Earth monitoring services globally. 
Overall, Rocket Lab has deployed three Electron missions for iQPS with 100% mission success: 'The Lightning God Reigns' and 'The Sea God Sees', were successfully deployed to space by Electron earlier this year as the first two missions of an eight-launch contract across 2025 and 2026 for iQPS; while a third launch, 'The Moon God Awakens,' was successfully launched in December 2023.
'The Mountain God Guards' will be Rocket Lab's eighth mission of 2025, its 66th Electron launch overall, and will bring the total number of satellites delivered to space by Electron to 227.

For the first time in history, you can hear what a 2nd stage sounds like with our new live audio from space. We use structure born vibe to recreate audio. Listen for stage sep, electric pumps spool up and ignition. Pretty cool!

Я-то подумал, что взрывной звук - наложенный, однако...
