Symphony In The Stars

Communications
Orbit:
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Mission Description:
'Symphony In The Stars' is the first of two dedicated missions on Electron to deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km circular Earth orbit for a confidential commercial customer. A second dedicated launch on Electron to meet those same mission requirements is scheduled for launch before the end of 2025. A possible identity of the payload (based on the mission patch, mission name and the orbit altitude) is it being a EchoStar Lyra Block 1 S-band IoT (Internet-of-Things) communication satellite, of which 4 are planned.
