[Orionid]

Misja „Owl Around The World” ma za zadanie wyniesienie satelity do obserwacji Ziemi StriX na orbitę okołoziemską o h=575 km.
Dołączy on do konstelacji radarów z syntetyczną aperturą (SAR) Synspective nad Japonią, która dostarcza dane do planowania rozwoju miast, monitorowania budowy i infrastruktury oraz reagowania na katastrofy.

11. dedykowany start satelity Synspective przez Rocket Lab.
Rocket Lab jest jedynym dostawcą usług startowych dla konstelacji Synspective od 2020, a kolejne 16 misji ma na celu dostarczenie reszty konstelacji na orbitę przed 2030.

Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for @synspective since 2020, with our 11th Electron mission for them successfully launching last week.
Flying dedicated gives constellation operators like Synspective control over launch schedule, launch site, and orbit, enabling them to deploy their constellation exactly how they want to without compromise.

We're booked to fly 16 more missions for Synspective to deploy the rest of their constellation, so we're still just warming up! (and we're gonna need more owl themed mission names 🦉)
