Transporter-2's count is currently 88, and will include satellites for the DoD Space Development Agency, ESA, NASA, SpaceFlight Inc., and a host of others. Date: June 25, 2021 Time: 1456 - 1554 Eastern (1856 - 1954 GMT) Booster: B1060.8 Pad: LC-40 Orbit: 525km Sun Synchronous Orbit Recovery: Return To Launch Site (LZ-1) Space News Transporter-2 update https://spacenews.com/space-development-agency-to-launch-five-satellites-aboard-spacex-rideshare/ Quote > Transporter-2 is expected to carry as many as 88 small satellites from commercial and government customers to a sun synchronous polar orbit. SDA’s five payloads include two pairs of satellites to demonstrate laser communications links, and one to demonstrate how data can be processed and analyzed autonomously aboard a satellite. > These are SDA’s first in-space experiments since the agency was established in 2019. SDA is developing a network of satellites in low Earth orbit for military communications and for missile defense. The first batch of satellites is scheduled to launch in late 2022. > bguy_1986 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
