Mission

HawkEye 360 is a a space-based civil global intelligence satellite network using radio frequency (RF) technology to help monitor transportation across air, land and sea and assist with emergencies, and to provide civil SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) mission. The constellation of small satellites (named Hawk ) will collect information on specific radio signals worldwide to provide high-precision radio frequency mapping and analytics from Low Earth orbit (LEO).

Target orbit: Low Earth Orbit

How to watch from Bermuda

Possible visibility from Bermuda, conditions permitting.

Face nw (305.1677811328984°) and sweep along the trajectory. Start scanning the sky about six minutes after liftoff.

Sweep order (approximate)

  1. 01southwest
  2. 02west
  3. 03northwest
  4. 04north
  5. 05northeast

You are standing at the amber dot in the middle. The solid cyan arrow is where to aim your eyes — roughly where the rocket will appear highest in the sky.

Lighting note

At night, look for the faint glow of the exhaust plume rather than the rocket itself. Let your eyes adjust for several minutes before liftoff, and avoid looking at phone screens.
