Scott ManleyHOST
And we're definitely not catching a starship anytime soon.
Scott ManleyHOST
Moving onwards, 22nd of May, we also saw Rocket Lab launch an Electron out of Mahia for a Synspective.
Scott ManleyHOST
This is another STRIX satellite, which probably explains why the name of this mission was Vive la STRIX.
Scott ManleyHOST
This was the 9th of 18 launches or 16.
Scott ManleyHOST
Okay, on the 26th of June, Rocket Lab out of Mahia launched an electron.
Scott ManleyHOST
The mission was called 10 Owl of 10, and it was launching another synthetic habitual radar satellite for Synspective, STRIX number eight.
Scott ManleyHOST
I believe that's the 10th launch of the 26 or whatever that they're gonna be launching for their constellation.
Scott ManleyHOST
So yeah, that flight was a success.
Scott ManleyHOST
On the 2nd of September, we also saw Electron launching OWL around the world out of Mahia in New Zealand.
Scott ManleyHOST
So this was carrying the STRIX-9 for Synspective.
Scott ManleyHOST
That's the Japanese X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar Satellite.
Scott ManleyHOST
Now, this is the 94th launch of Electron and the 11th launch for STRIX into a 575 kilometer low Earth orbit.
Scott ManleyHOST
Yeah, this is the largest commercial contract signed so far.
Scott ManleyHOST
Again, it's for Synspective who have been regularly launching their strict satellites on Rocket Lab's Electron.
Scott ManleyHOST
So that brings their total to something like 47 contracted launches with like 13 already flown.
Scott ManleyHOST
So yeah, they are by far the biggest Electron customer.
