Alba Orbital Clusters 3 & 4 on this flight
Quote from: gongora on 08/11/2021 04:57 pmAlba Orbital Clusters 3 & 4 on this flightIs this in addition to the 8 Fossa Systems sats mentioned here, or are those in Alba Cluster 3?
The total launch mass of the Sherpa-LTC1 will be approximately 362 kg, of which approximately 126.918 kg will be made up of customer spacecraft to be deployed.
Following customer deployment, Sherpa-LTC1 will move on to a demonstration phase, as further detailed below, which will include the deployment of five (5) additional sub-3U spacecraft at 500 km....During the primary mission phase, the Sherpa-LTC1 will deploy up to eight (8) spacecraft, seven (7) of which have propulsion. As further described below and in Exhibit A, during a demonstration phase, once the Sherpa-LTC1 has been lowered to 500 km, five (5) additional spacecraft will be deployed.
The four pico-satellites in Alba Orbital’s cluster will fly as part of a rideshare mission on Rocket Lab’s Electron launch vehicle, lifting-off from Launch Complex 1 on New Zealand’s Mahia Peninsula in Q4, 2021. The cluster includes Alba Orbital’s own Unicorn-2 PocketQube satellites, as well as the TRSI-2, TRSI-3, and MyRadar-1 satellites for Alba Orbital’s customers. Each small satellite carries a unique sensor designed to demonstrate innovative technologies on orbit.
Integration and Launch DatesICEYE plans to launch its first satellite onboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida on December 4, 2021. ICEYE expects that its satellite will be integrated into the launch vehicle on or about November 21, 2021. SAR Imaging in the 9300 – 9900 MHz BandICEYE clarifies that a nominal SAR image collection lasts for ten seconds, and each satellite will be limited to 180 images per day. This means that the maximum imaging time for each satellite will be 2700 seconds per day, corresponding to 3.125% of the day. Bandwidth to be used for SAR will be up to 600 megahertz.
Spire currently has 120 teeny CubeSats in Low Earth Orbit between 350 and 650 kilometers in altitude, and Brown said the firm has another batch slated to launch in December on a SpaceX Falcon 9.
Pivdenne is now busy with another state project — the launch of the satellite Sich 2–30 that will go to space with SpaceX’s rocket Falcon 9.According to Degtyarev, the satellite is now ready, having passed the last stages of testing. Ukraine will send it to the U.S. at the beginning of November.
CSG-2 is listed by most manifests as launching on Vega-C. A recent filing for ground station support shows it as launching on a Falcon 9 from Florida NET November. A document on the Italian Space Agency's site that has a 2021 date shows it as launching before the end of 2021.

It's a polar satellite and the timeframe fits, but CSG-1 had 2.2 tons, so I'm guessing probably not?

Do we know when the next IROSA delivery to ISS?
