Mission

Get The Hawk Outta Here (4x HawkEye 360) on Electron. Thu 26 Jun 2025, 17:28 UTC. Reported outcome: Success. Launch site: Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A. Source: Launch Library 2.

HawkEye 360 is a a space-based civil global intelligence satellite network using radio frequency (RF) technology to help monitor transportation across air, land and sea and assist with emergencies, and to provide civil SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) mission. The constellation of small satellites (named Hawk) will collect information on specific radio signals worldwide to provide high-precision radio frequency mapping and analytics from Low Earth orbit (LEO). 3 of the satellites will comprise HawkEye 360’s Cluster 12 and will operate in a dawn-to-dusk polar orbit, while the 4th is Kestrel-0A, an experimental satellite designed to evaluate emerging capabilities and future technology enhancements.

Mission type: Earth Science
Orbit: Low Earth Orbit
