StriX Launch 19

Rocket Lab's Electron is set to launch StriX Launch 19 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand, on December 31, 2029, at 12:00 AM UTC. Electron, provided by Rocket Lab, will carry the payload into a Sun-Synchronous Orbit, a trajectory often targeted for Earth observation missions. Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, located on the Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand, will serve as the launch site for this mission. The Electron launch vehicle is scheduled to deliver the StriX Launch 19 payload to this specific orbit.

Aboard the rocket, the payload is a synthetic aperture radar satellite designed for Earth science applications, operated by Japanese Earth imaging company Synspective. Electron, provided by Rocket Lab, will launch this payload into a Sun-Synchronous Orbit, allowing Synspective to collect data with consistent lighting conditions. The StriX Launch 19 mission, utilizing Rocket Lab's Electron, will enable Synspective to conduct Earth imaging, providing valuable data for various fields. Rocket Lab's Electron launch vehicle is critical to the success of this mission, which is slated to take place on December 31, 2029.
