Rocket Lab launches 10th Synspective satellite on Electron
Rocket Lab launched its 'Ten Owl of Ten' Electron mission on June 26 from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, lofting Synspective's 10th Strix synthetic-aperture-radar satellite to a roughly 552-km low Earth orbit. It was Rocket Lab's 12th Electron launch of 2026 and kept the company's recent run of mission successes intact as it builds toward its 100th launch. Synspective has another 17 Electron flights booked to complete its SAR constellation by the end of the decade.
