Thursday evening launch from Wallops

Rocket Lab successfully launched two Capella satellites from the Wallops Flight Facility.   The Electron headed to the heavens at 6:38 and orbit for the satellites was established approximately 10 minutes later.  The mission was named “Stronger Together”.

The launch was a dedicated mission for Capella Space, a leading U.S. satellite manufacturer and Earth observation company. “Stronger Together” delivered to orbit two more Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites that enable Capella Space to deliver the highest quality, highest resolution SAR imagery commercially available with the fastest order-to delivery time, empowering organizations across the public and private sector to make informed, accurate decisions

This is the second successful launch for Rocket Lab from the Wallops  Flight Facility.

     (Shore Daily News)

Rocket Lab announced Monday that they are set for a second attempt to launch the second Electron rocket from the Wallops  Flight Facility.  The launch window is set for 6 until 8 pm Wednesday night.

However the winds will still be with us Wednesday.  The forecast calls for sunny skies but  ]surface winds from the northwest gusting to 30 mph.  It remains to be seen if the upper level winds will lay down in time for the launch Wednesday.

The “Stronger Together” mission will be deploying Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites for Capella Space, allowing the San Francisco-based company to expand its SAR capabilities.
