“Get the Hawk Outta Here” MISSION

Mission overview

On June 26, 2025, Exolaunch successfully deployed the next-generation 8U Kestrel-0A satellite for HawkEye 360 aboard Rocket Lab's Electron mission “Get The Hawk Outta Here,” launched from Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. The mission marks a new milestone in Exolaunch's long-standing collaboration with HawkEye 360, supporting the rapid growth of its RF-mapping constellation.

The satellite was integrated using Exolaunch's Nova deployer, a flight-proven system designed for precise, reliable CubeSat deployment. After orbital insertion by Electron's kick stage, the spacecraft was released flawlessly into its target orbit—advancing HawkEye 360's geolocation capabilities and mission readiness.

With this deployment, Exolaunch has now delivered 576 satellites across 38 missions, further reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for satellite deployment missions worldwide.
