Rocket Lab launched the Strix-1 communications satellite into orbit more than half a thousand kilometers from Earth.

As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by Space.com.

Currently, the 30th launch of the Electron launch vehicle with a satellite on it has been carried out from the spaceport in New Zealand.

The Synspective spacecraft reached its planned orbit of 563 km above Earth 53 minutes after launch.

Rocket Lab said Strix-1 is Synspective’s first commercial satellite to transmit images that can detect millimeter-scale changes in the Earth’s surface regardless of weather conditions and at any time of the day or night.

Rocket Lab successfully launched Strix satellites for Synspective in December 2020 and February 2022.

As reported by Ukrinform, the company Rocket Lab successfully launched the Electron launch vehicle with the American reconnaissance satellite NROL-199 on August 4.
