"The Owl's Night Continues" is the first of three dedicated Electron missions for Synspective, with two scheduled to launch in 2022 and a third in 2023. Each mission will deploy a single StriX satellite, growing Synspective’s synthetic aperture radar (SAR) constellation developed to deliver imagery that can detect millimetre-level changes to the Earth's surface from space, independent of weather conditions on Earth and at any time of the day or night.

"The Owl’s Night Continues" mission follows on from Rocket Lab's first launch for Synspective in December 2020. That mission, named "The Owl's Night Begins," saw Rocket Lab's Electron launch vehicle deploy the StriX-α satellite – the first spacecraft in Synspective's planned constellation of more than 30 SAR satellites designed to collate data of metropolitan centers on a daily basis to support urban development planning, construction and infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response.

For the first time, we'll be attempting to snatch Electron's first stage from the air with a helicopter on our next mission. As early as April 29th, we're going "There And Back Again" in the pursuit of a reusable rocket.

Our 50th Electron rocket is scheduled to take to the skies next week sporting a special edition mission patch in addition to the 'No Time Toulouse' patch for Kineis IoT.

Why yes, both patches will available on our web store shortly after lift-off.

We've added an extra mission to our launch line-up this year, launching in just three days' time for a confidential commercial customer. From contract to space in less than two months.

The mission is the third of five dedicated Electron launches booked by Kinéis in a multi-launch contract that will see Rocket Lab deploy an entire constellation of 25 IoT satellites. The first two missions were successfully launched by Electron in June and September 2024.

Just like Michael Jackson's iconic lyrics, with Kinéis leading the way, let's make this world a better place, 4 you, 4 me, and 4 all living beings.
