Electron • ‘We Love the Nightlife’

July 28, 2023 Will Robinson-Smith

A Rocket Lab Electron rocket launched the first of Capella Space’s next-generation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Earth-imaging satellites called “Acadia.” This will be the first launch of these four, new satellites. The mission is dubbed “We Love the Nightlife” since the SAR satellites allow for high-resolution imagery a night. Delayed from July 28. Launch aborted on July 30. Delayed from Aug. 4 and 6.
