The US Space Force is preparing to launch a research and development satellite on Thursday with the help of Rocket Lab. The ทางเข้าเล่น slotxo
company's Electron rocket is scheduled to launch from its site in New Zealand between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM. ET (6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. local time) to put the Monolith satellite into low orbit.

The aim of the mission, which is called "It's a Little Chile Up Here" (a reference to green chile from the New Mexico home of the space test program), is to test small satellites for the Department of Defense. The monolith will help determine if a large,

deployable sensor is feasible. Such sensors account for a significant proportion of the spacecraft's total mass. This is because the sensor may change the dynamic properties of the spacecraft. The mission will determine if it is possible to maintain

altitude control after the sensor has been applied.Analysis based on deployable sensor use aims to enable smaller satellite buses when building future deployable sensors such as weather satellites. This will reduce cost,

complexity and development time,” Rocket Lab wrote in a statement. "Satellite will also be a platform to test future space protection capabilities."
