Rocket Lab successfully launches two Capella radar satellites.
TL;DR Summary
Rocket Lab's Electron rocket successfully launched two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellites built and operated by Capella Space from Launch Complex 2 at Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Wallops Island, Virginia. The satellites were deployed into a 600-kilometer circular orbit at an inclination of 44 degrees. Rocket Lab expects to conduct up to 15 Electron launches this year from both Virginia and New Zealand, and has a strong manifest for Electron, including a new multi-launch contract signed with Capella Space.
