Rocket Lab launched a quartet of satellites for Virginia-based company Hawkeye 360.
STUDY electron rocket lifted from Rocket LabPad-A launching Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand today at 1:28 PM EDT (1728 GMT; 5:28 AM Local New Zealand Time on June 27). Rocket brings to Hawkeye 360’s “Get Hawk Outta here” Mission.
Inside the payload of electron plays three radio geolocation microsatellings and a fourth satellite experiment called “Kestrel-0a”. The group is released by a polar low-adbit orbit (Leo) at a height of about 320 miles (520 kilometers).
Hawkeye 360 specializes in providing radio frequency geospatial analytics. Trio of Constelation Trio abo get from Outta here designed to attract the beginning of radio frequencies around the world and about “Cluster 12.” Satellites fill a “critical strip of covered,” according to the rocket lab’s Mission Descriptionthat the Hawkeye 360 has been given the ability to “get RF intelligence in regions of strategic interest.”
Kestrel-0A, in the meantime, designed to “evaluate those who emerge capabilities and improvements to future technology,” according to the rocket lab.

Get Hawk Outta here the second of the three missions for Hawkeye 360 plans of rocket launch. Overall, the Rocket Lab finally brings 15 Satellites to Leo for Hawkeye 360. The first mission, is called “Virginia is for the lovers of lovers,” served with electron debution and launched January 2023 from launching Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 2 of Wallops Island, Virginia.
This mission marks the 67th general electron launch and ninth launch of 2025 for rocket lab – and the company has no signs of a slow motivation.
Rocket Lab has at least half a dozen launches left in its docket for this year, including debut in size, the more powerful neutron rocket designed to be a partially available. Rocket Lab also flies a suborbital variant of electron call Hurrywhich served as a testbed for hypersonic technologies.
