Japanese Company Expands Radar Imaging Constellation
Rocket Lab has launched a radar-imaging satellite for Japanese company Synspective, marking the 10th Electron mission to carry a Synspective satellite. The launch, which took place on June 26, was delayed from its original scheduled date due to a responsive space mission. Synspective has relied exclusively on Electron to deploy its satellites and has contracts for 17 more Electron launches, as well as agreements with SpaceX for rideshare missions. The launch was reported by SpaceNews.
