About this update from Rocket Lab Corporation

MAHIA, New Zealand, June 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocket Lab Corporation (Nasdaq: RKLB), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today announced it has successfully placed another satellite into orbit for Synspective, achieving a significant milestone as the tenth dedicated launch for the Japan-based Earth observation company with 100% mission success. This latest launch - Rocket Lab's 12th of the year - drives home the strength of one of the space industry's most enduring commercial partnerships while demonstrating Electron's unmatched reliability for dedicated small satellite missions. The "Ten Owl Of Ten" mission launched on Electron from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand at 5:43 a.m. NZST on June 27, 2026 to a 552km low Earth orbit. With this launch, Synspective's StriX constellation - which utilizes synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology to capture detailed Earth imagery - now includes ten operational satellites, all of which have been deployed to space by Electron. Reflecting Rocket Lab's customer-centric approach and commercial flexibility, a specially-configured Electron fairing was created for this mission to accommodate the StriX satellite's specific dimensions: a key feature of Rocket Lab and Synspective's partnership that has helped to ensure a 100% mission success rate across all StriX deployments. This latest mission brings Rocket Lab's overall launch tally to 91 missions, continuing to make Electron the world's most frequently launched small-lift orbital rocket. Another 17 missions are booked for Synspective to complete the deployment of their constellation by the end of the decade. The next of those 17 upcoming missions is expected to launch in early Q3 this year.Launch images and video: F91 | Ten Owl Of Ten | Flickr Launch webcast: Rocket Lab - '10 Owl Of 10' Launch - YouTube Rocket Lab Media [email protected] About Rocket LabRocket Lab is a leading space company that provides launch services, spacecraft, payloads and satellite components serving commercial, government, and national security markets.
