Each mission will deploy a single [[Synspective#🛰️ Space Systems#StriX|StriX]] satellite, growing [[Synspective]]’s [[📦 Payload Types#Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)|Synthetic Aperture Rader (SAR)]] constellation developed to deliver imagery that can detect millimetre-level changes to the Earth’s surface from space, independent of weather conditions on Earth and at any time of the day or night. > ‘The Owl’s Night Continues’ mission follows on from Rocket Lab’s first launch for Synspective in December 2020. That mission, named ‘The Owl’s Night Begins’, saw Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle deploy the StriX-α satellite – the first spacecraft in Synspective’s planned constellation of more than 30 SAR satellites designed to collate data of metropolitan centers on a daily basis to support urban development planning, construction and infrastructure monitoring, and disaster response. > [📸 Mission Photo Album](https://www.flickr.com/photos/rocketlab/albums/72177720301776244/) #electron #launch #success | **Mission Name** | The Owl's Night Continues | | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Launch Date** | 2022-02-28 20:37 | | **Outcome** | ✅ Success | | **Customer** | [[Synspective]] | | **Location** | [[Launch Complex 1#Launch Pad B]] | | **Vehicle** | [[Electron]] | | **Orbit Type** | [[🌍 Orbits#SSO]] | | **Target Orbit** | 561 km | 97° | | **Payload Mass** | 150 kg | | **Recovery** | No Attempt | | **Mission Link** | [The Owl's Night Continues](https://www.rocketlabusa.com/missions/missions-launched/the-owls-night-continues/) | | **Press Kit** | [Press Kit PDF](https://rocketlabcorp.com/assets/Uploads/Rocket-Lab-The-Owls-Night-Continues-Press-Kit.pdf) | ![[Pasted image 20250406135656.png|300]] ### 📦 Payload x1 [[Synspective#🛰️ Space Systems#StriX|StriX Series Satellites]] ![[Synspective#🛰️ Space Systems#StriX]] ## 📽️ Launch Video <div class="responsive-video"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MjfNJjTyfKY" title="Rocket Lab's Electron - The Owl's Night Continues Mission" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> ## 📰 News %%DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: start ``` table published as "Published" from "News" where contains(mission, [[024 - The Owl's Night Continues]]) sort published desc ``` %% | File | Published | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- | | [[News/Rocket Lab Successfully Launches Second Mission for Synspective, Deploys 110th Satellite to Orbit.md\|Rocket Lab Successfully Launches Second Mission for Synspective, Deploys 110th Satellite to Orbit]] | March 01, 2022 | | [[News/Rocket Lab Brings Forward Launch for Earth Imaging Company Synspective.md\|Rocket Lab Brings Forward Launch for Earth Imaging Company Synspective]] | February 09, 2022 | | [[News/Rocket Lab to Launch Three Dedicated Electron Missions for Earth Imaging Company Synspective.md\|Rocket Lab to Launch Three Dedicated Electron Missions for Earth Imaging Company Synspective]] | December 07, 2021 | %%DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: end %%
