The mission deployed four satellites for HawkEye 360: a trio of microsats to collect and geolocate radio frequency signals from around the world, and Kestrel-0A, an experimental satellite designed to evaluate emerging capabilities and future technology enhancements. The three satellites comprising HawkEye 360’s Cluster 12 will operate in a dawn-to-dusk polar orbit — filling a critical coverage gap and enhancing the company’s ability to extract RF intelligence in regions of strategic interest. ‘Get The Hawk Outta Here’ was the second of three missions on Electron in a multi-launch contract to build out [HawkEye 360’s constellation](https://www.eoportal.org/satellite-missions/hawkeye-360). The first mission in January 2023, [[033 - Virginia is for Launch Lovers]], deployed [HawkEye’s Cluster 6 satellites](https://www.he360.com/launches/cluster-6-launch/) to orbit on Electron’s inaugural launch from Rocket Lab [[Launch Complex 2]] in Virginia. All of HawkEye 360’s satellites launched on Electron are deployed from Rocket Lab’s own Lightband satellite separation system.
