Static fire test of Falcon 9 complete – targeting launch of SpaceX’s second dedicated rideshare mission, Transporter-2, on Friday, June 25
A smooth integration of four @Satellogic #NewSat satellites for the @SpaceX #Transporter2 mission, scheduled for launch from the Cape this Friday!We are grateful to the Satellogic team for the fruitful partnership and look forward to a successful launch!#Fingerspitzengefühl
https://spacenews.com/space-development-agency-to-launch-five-satellites-aboard-spacex-rideshare/Transporter-2 is expected to carry as many as 88 small satellites from commercial and government customers to a sun synchronous polar orbit.
The list in the first page of the thread includes 48 payloads so far (plus the Sherpa FX2, Sherpa LTE1, Exolaunch and ION SLV-003 dispensers). Still more or less 40 unidentified payloads, this will be a mess.
The four 6U satellites we designed, built, and integrated for our customer Kleos will also be on board @SpaceX's rocket Falcon 9 launch mission. So glad to see them waiting to be launched after so many weeks of intensive teamwork!
Confirmation: SatelliteSatelliteSatelliteSatelliteFour ICEYE #SAR satellites are targeted for launch on this week's Friday, June 25, with @SpaceX rideshare mission! Static fire test completed yesterday. Stay tuned and follow @iceyefi for more updates as we get closer to liftoff!
Quote from: Skyrocket on 06/15/2021 08:35 pmThere are four ICEYE satellites on this launch - one of them is XR-2.So would that put YAM-3, TUBIN, and the two quadpacks on one port?edit: I'm guessing there may be another dozen Swarm sats to get the number of satellites listed

Here's my best guess. If the sky is clear, you should see the second stage due east, at increasing elevation, pass directly overhead at the following times after launch.

🚀Careful integration of the #TUBIN satellite with the @SpaceX #Falcon9 #Transporter2 payload stack at Cape Canaveral, using one of our #CarboNIX shock-free separation systems. We are pleased to support the advanced space research and development of our Alma Mater @TUBerlin!
Do these prelaunch checkouts refer to some of the planned satellites not being ready in time?
