Launched on August 5, 2025 at 1:10 p.m. JST aboard Rocket Lab’s Electron, QPS-SAR-12 ‘KUSHINADA-I’ successfully established the first communication approximately 30 minutes after separation. Following confirmation of its good condition, ‘KUSHINADA-I’ successfully deployed its parabolic antenna on the evening of the same day. We are now preparing to obtain the first Earth observation data after completing the satellite’s calibration as scheduled.
