    Rocket Lab completes 96th Electron mission deploying Synspective radar satellite

    Question

    Rocket Lab completes 96th Electron mission deploying Synspective radar satellite

    Direct answer

    Rocket Lab deployed the 12th StriX synthetic aperture radar satellite for Synspective on September 19, achieving its 17th successful launch of 2026 and bringing lifetime Electron missions to 96. The mission demonstrates high-cadence execution in small satellite launch operations. Backlog visibility remains supported by an agreement covering 15 further dedicated launches for Synspective's constellation.
