Mission info
Transporter 15 is a dedicated rideshare mission by SpaceX. SpaceX’s SmallSat Rideshare Program provides small satellite operators with regularly scheduled, dedicated Falcon 9 rideshare missions to SSO for ESPA class payloads for as low as $300,000 per mission, which includes up to 50kg of payload mass.
The payload roundup for Transporter missions is always interesting and is a good quick health check on the small sat industry.
Blue Skies Space’s Mauve commercial UV telescope that sells tasking time is interesting.
ESA’s HydroGNSS mission to measure GPS signals off water and weather is cool.
