Rocket Lab is preparing for its 40th Electron launch, scheduled for this weekend. The mission, named "We Love the Nightlife," will deploy the first of Capella Space's next-generation Earth observation satellites to low Earth orbit. This will be Rocket Lab's eighth Electron mission for the year and the company's 40th Electron launch overall. The launch will be live-streamed on Rocket Lab's website.
Satellogic, the South American company known for high-resolution multispectral imagery, is selling Earth-observation satellites for $10 million or less. Satellogic is offering delivery in orbit within three months of an order for the company’s dishwasher-size satellites. Satellogic is not subject to U.S. export controls like the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and customers do not need National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration licenses for Earth imagery since the company is not based in the United States. Satellogic has seen growing demand for satellites, especially among emerging space programs in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Tirman said.
