HawkEye 360 Inc. has announced the upcoming launch of the company’s Cluster 10 satellites aboard the Transporter-11 Rideshare mission with SpaceX via launch integrator Exolaunch.
The satellites will launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California to SSO no earlier than August 16th at 2:20 PM EDT. Adding these three satellites will enhance the company’s robust constellation, increasing the total to 32 satellites and significantly augmenting global RF monitoring capabilities.
Cluster 10 will reinforce HawkEye 360’s capacity for frequent revisits to areas of strategic interest globally. Once on orbit, these satellites will enhance HawkEye 360’s collection capabilities, providing more comprehensive coverage and timely data across vital regions. Cluster 10 will continue to advance HawkEye 360’s mission of delivering precise and actionable RF insights, ensuring greater coverage and enhanced monitoring capabilities.
“The launch of Cluster 10 is a pivotal moment as we expand our constellation, introducing our tenth trio of satellites and surpassing thirty in total,” said John Serafini, CEO of HawkEye 360. “Our ongoing advancement in satellite technology, particularly our use of formation flying, continues to enhance our precision in geolocating RF emissions. This capability sets us apart in the industry, enabling us to deliver more frequent and reliable data for critical applications such as maritime domain awareness and terrestrial monitoring, reinforcing our leadership in RF sensing.”
