Launch Safety
"Eight Days A Week" is a dedicated Electron launch with a single StriX Earth observation satellite for Synspective, a Japan-based commercial constellation operator.
The mission will be the eighth Synspective launch on Electron to build out the company's synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging constellation over Japan that provides data for urban development planning, construction and infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.
Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for Synspective's constellation since 2020, with another 19 missions booked to deliver the rest of their constellation to orbit before 2030.
