Sequoia, Capella Space’s first operational satellite, is scheduled to launch in late March on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket alongside Argentina’s Saocom-1B synthetic aperture radar satellite.
SpaceX originally intended to launch Saocom-1B from Vandenberg Air Force Base but requested to launch it on a polar trajectory from Cape Canaveral.
SpaceX completed a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral on 2020-08-30 that delivered Argentina’s Saocom-1B radar satellite and two smallsats into low Earth orbit.
SpaceX deployed the Saocom-1B synthetic aperture radar satellite approximately 14 minutes after liftoff on 2020-08-30.
