Successful Antenna Deployment of QPS-SAR-14 ‘YACHIHOKO-I’ Confirmed

Launched on November 6, 2025 at 4:51 a.m. JST aboard Rocket Lab’s Electron, QPS-SAR-14 ‘YACHIHOKO-I’ successfully established the first communication approximately 35 minutes after separation. Following confirmation of its good condition, ‘YACHIHOKO-I’ successfully deployed its parabolic antenna on the morning of the same day. We are now preparing to obtain the first Earth observation data after completing the satellite’s calibration as scheduled.
