It is almost impossible to find out the entire list of the payloads for this launch. If we believe all the customers, we count 150 to 160 sats...
Some of them are delayed but don't communicate.

Truth! It's chaotic.

Get used to it, these 100+ payload extravaganzas will always have inaccuracy. Makes it funner.

For instance, Kepler Communication is announcing (on its homepage) 8 Gen1 Satellites on transporter-1. But SpaceX is saying 17...unless 17 sats on Kepler's port does not mean 17 Kepler sats .....

Does anyone know the big picture of the satellite stack for this mission?

I'm just as curious about whether Starlink will be at the forefront or under ESPA-like multi satellite adapter.

From this tweet, the spaceflight SXRX-3 should be in front of the stack.
https://twitter.com/SpaceflightInc/status/1346533216077963265?s=20

So from front to back,
・ Spaceflight SXRX-3
・ SpaceX ESPA Adapter (EXOlaunch Misson Zeitgeist)
・ SpaceX Starlink 10 satellites
I expect it as above.

Given so many other companies are depending on this mission, it is getting even more scrutiny than a Starlink flight

SOMP-2b
UVSQ-SAT
V-R3x x 3
SpaceBEE x 36
YUSAT


I'm getting crazy trying to figure this out but I'm determined to do it. So to integrate that list of sats with all the speculations done so far and the SpaceX deployment schedule we should have:

00:58:59   36 Planet SuperDoves
00:59:00   17 aboard Kepler’s port (8 Kepler, 4 SuperDoves, UVSQ-SAT, ASELSAT, YUSAT, IDEASSAT and 1 unknown)
00:59:09   3 x NASA's V-R3x
01:08:19   9 aboard Nanoracks’ Eyries-1 mission (8 Lemur-2 and GHGSat-C2)
01:08:44   28 with EXOport-2 (24 SpaceBEE, 1 ICEYE, Charlie, SOMP-2b and PIXL-1)
01:13:58   Capella-3
01:14:10   2 with EXOport-1 (2 ICEYEs)
01:14:23   QPS SAR-2
01:15:38   Capella-4
01:16:10   13 aboard SHERPA-FX 1 (5 Astrocast, 3 Arce-1, 3 Hawk-2 and 2 unknown)
01:16:28   20 aboard ION SCV (12 SpaceBee and 8 SuperDoves)
01:31:10   10 Starlink

They add up to a total of 141 satellites + SHERPA-FX 1 and ION SCV = 143. It remains to be determined which is the last paylod aboard Kepler's port and the 2 on SHERPA-FX among XR-1 Prometheus 2.10 and PTD-1. Am I wrong? Any ideas?

Wow! You have done great work! I used this thread as the main source for this spreadsheet to make it more visible. Unfortunately I didn't manage to find sources for all the satellites but comments are open, so feel free to suggest anything if I missed it, I'm going also to follow this thread for updates.

PS This is my first post here, if there is any issue for sharing this spreadsheet please let me know.

Ok so according to ElonX website PTD-1 and Prometheus 2.10 cubesats are the last two on the SHERPA-FX dispenser, so that leaves the XR-1 satellite as the last one aboard Kepler's port and if all the payloads are correct finally everything seems to be in the right place.

I just wanna see Neopork's high-resolution rendering of details of each sat as they come of the stack in an animation, all in precise order of course.   ;D

It's 2021; why can't we have perfect information?

ElonX.net does not mention UVSQ-SAT on Kepler's port. But this sat il for sure well confirmed to be on board.

Fmedici is not talking about the hosted payload on Sherpa Fx. Do you consider it is only one sat, once launched ? because we have several customers.

In my count I was considering only the payloads that are to be "deployed", and according to SpaceX deploying schedule there are supposed to be 13 of these on SHERPA-FX. By the way, how many and which are the hosted payloads aboard?

Oh ok. That makes sense.
The hosted payload are : ELROI, Celestis 17 and Eyestar Tag (or Tagsat).
