Second of three dedicated Electron launches for HawkEye 360, a US company that geolocates radio frequency signals from vessels, aircraft, and other emitters using formation-flying clusters of three satellites. The flight delivered Cluster 12 - the first HawkEye 360 cluster to operate in a dawn/dusk orbit, enhancing coverage over high-latitude regions.

The subsequent "Symphony In The Stars" launch from Mahia LC-1B followed approximately 37 hours later, a new record for the shortest interval between two Electron launches at the site.
