Synspective's 10th SAR Satellite Successfully Deployed to Target Orbit
Japanese SAR satellite data and solutions provider Synspective has announced the successful deployment of its 10th synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite, StriX, into its target orbit. The satellite has completed solar panel deployment and is now fully operational, marking a significant milestone in the company's expanding Earth observation constellation.
Highlights
- Synspective's 10th StriX SAR satellite has been successfully deployed to its target orbit and is now fully operational.
- The satellite completed solar panel deployment after launch, confirming full mission readiness.
- The expanded constellation is expected to improve global revisit frequency and deliver higher-resolution SAR imagery.
- StriX series satellites support all-weather, day-and-night observation, serving infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, agriculture, and urban planning sectors.
- Synspective's long-term goal is to shorten revisit cycles by growing its small SAR satellite constellation to meet rising demand from commercial, government, and research customers.
SAR satellite data and solutions provider Synspective has announced that its 10th synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite — designated StriX — has been successfully deployed to its target orbit. The satellite has completed all initial deployment procedures, including solar panel extension, and has formally joined the company's growing constellation.
A Major Milestone in Commercial Earth Observation
The successful deployment represents a significant milestone for Synspective in the commercial Earth observation sector, further expanding the scale of its SAR satellite constellation. The StriX series satellites are capable of penetrating cloud cover and operating in complete darkness, enabling all-weather surface observation around the clock. Key application areas include infrastructure monitoring, disaster response, agricultural assessment, and urban planning.
Enhanced Coverage and Revisit Frequency
With the 10th satellite now in orbit, Synspective's constellation is expected to deliver improved coverage and higher revisit frequency, providing global users with more timely and higher-resolution SAR imagery data services.
Constellation Expansion on Track
Synspective continues to advance its small SAR satellite constellation development plan, with the goal of shortening revisit cycles by increasing the number of operational satellites. This will enable more frequent observation of ground targets, addressing the growing demand for satellite data among commercial enterprises, government agencies, and research institutions worldwide.
