Associated space launch
Encapsulated in Electron's fairing will be a single spacecraft for Astro Digital, a California-based satellite manufacturer and operator. The Landmapper-BC remote sensing satellite features a broad coverage multispectral imaging system with a resolution of 22 meters per pixel. Eventually, Astro Digital plans to extend the Landmapper-BC constellation to capture daily, multispectral imagery of the world’s arable land. The mission is named 'As The Crow Flies' in a nod to Astro Digital's Corvus Platform, which provides flexible and cost-effective solutions across a wide range of applications and mission profiles on bus variants ranging from 6U and 16U CubeSats to ESPA Class. Corvus is also a widely-distributed genus of birds which includes crows.
ELECTRON KICK STAGE R/B was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Electron | As The Crow Flies (Palisade)’, on board a Electron space rocket.
The launch took place on Oct. 17, 2019, 1:22 a.m. from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1A.
