(NET) Electron • Blacksky 23

A Rocket Lab Electron rocket topped with a Curie upper stage will launch the fourth BlackSky Gen 3 satellite into a circular 470km orbit. Rocket Lab's mission is named "?".-The BlackSky constellation of 1m resolution Earth observation microsatellites will be deployed by BlackSky Global LLC. The Gen 3 satellite's enhanced capabilities include short-wave infrared sensors that can penetrate smoke and haze, as well as the ability to conduct multiple observations of the same location within a day. The satellite’s inter-satellite laser links will enable rapid retasking for time-sensitive missions, a feature particularly valuable for defense and intelligence applications.Webcast: https://rocketlabcorp.com/live-stream/
