Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula.

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) is preparing to launch its 30th Electron rocket and 150th satellite to space during a dedicated mission for Japanese Earth-imaging company Synspective on Wednesday, September 14 UTC.

The launch will take place from Pad B at Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula. The launch window opens 20:30 UTC on September 14th (08:30 NZST, September 15th). Back-up opportunities are available through September 28th to accommodate potential weather delays to the launch.

"The Owl Spreads Its Wings" mission is the second of a bulk buy of three Electron launches by Synspective to deliver their StriX satellites to low Earth orbit.

StriX-1 is Synspective's first commercial satellite for its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation to deliver imagery that can detect millimeter-level changes to the Earth's surface from space, independent of weather conditions on Earth and at any time of the day or night.

"The Owl Spreads Its Wings" will be Rocket Lab's third mission for Synspective after successful launches in December 2020 and February 2022.
