2. start RN Electron/Curie w 2026.

Rakieta wyniosła na orbitę jednego satelitę dla nieujawnionego klienta.
Uważa się, że jest to czwarty satelita obserwacji Ziemi BlackSky Gen 3 o rozdzielczości przestrzennej do 35 cm.

Spekulacje na temat ładunku rakiety Electron, który wyniesiono podczas piątkowego startu, należą już do przeszłości.
Był to rzeczywiście czwarty satelita Black Sky Gen 3.
Sam operator opublikował pierwsze zdjęcie, które wykonał, przedstawiające fragment lotniska w Santiago de Chile.

First light from our fourth Gen-3 satellite.

Captured just hours after launch on March 8, 2026 at 11:31 AM, this image shows an aircraft departing the runway at Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile.

This milestone adds critical on-orbit capacity to our growing Gen-3 constellation and reflects BlackSky's ability to move from launch to operational imagery in hours, not weeks.
