■Mission Name “The owl’s night begins”

Background and Meaning:

“The owl’s night begins” stands for the “owl”, representing our satellite that carries the name “StriX” which is a genus of owls.

The “night” part is about SAR’s capabilities to see through any condition including the night’s darkness and the “begins” part represents that this is the first satellite of many to come and that Synspective’s presence in the sky is starting.
