The Transporter 3 mission is on track to launch tomorrow morning at 10:25 AM ET. After stage separation, B1058 will have its return announced by sonic booms over the Space Coast and land at LZ-1.

Dramatic, cloudy skies at Cape Canaveral today.

Falcon 9 is slated to launch the Transporter-3 rideshare mission with 105 spacecraft at 10:25 a.m. EST on Thursday, January 13.

B1058 will land at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

I get at least 108 satellites from my analysis (main sources: SupTLEs by T.S. Kelso/CelesTrak, SpaceX "press kit" website, customer tweets for D-Orbit payloads).

I don't see any good way to show my list directly here (it's an Excel sheet), so here it is in Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17br4NpXjEszdx16yATFzp7QsMqCnlAzCrUikGlG_0ko/edit?usp=sharing

You can also download the attachment if you prefer to.

GO for launch, GO for age of reflight

Looks like the Laika PQ is one of the FOSSASAT-2E satellites given:

https://www.porkchop.space/

and

https://twitter.com/EA4HCD/status/1481397558358552577

Are some other of FOSSA's deployed satellites being double names?

EDIT:

Looking at the rendering and wording on the WISeSAT website, I now beleive bothe WISeSAT-1 and WISeSAT-2 are also FOSSA-2E based spacecraft. Meaning that Laika, WISeSAT-1, and WISeSAT-2 might be being double counted here.

https://www.wisekey.com/wisesat/

Poking around, PILOT-1 could also be a FOSSASAT-2E. Might reach out to FOSSA to see what exactly is going on here.

Yes, looks like you're right and this matches what's shown in SupTLEs.

From SupTLEs:
Quote
FOSSASAT-2E5/FOSSASAT-2E
FOSSASAT-2E2/FOSSASAT-2E
FOSSASAT-2E1/FOSSASAT-2E

Equivalent SpaceX website entries:
Quote
01:05:48   FOSSASAT-2E5 and FOSSASAT-2E6 deploy
01:06:01   FOSSASAT-2E2, WISESAT-2, FOSSASAT-2E3, and PILOT-1 deploy
01:06:27   FOSSASAT-2E1, WISESAT-1, FOSSASAT-2E4, and LAIKA deploy

So yeah, these four FOSSASATs have double names. It gives us 104 satellites. The last one missing is probably Guardian, which was supposed to launch with D-Orbit, but I didn't count it, because it was already too many satellites and there has been no info for some time.

Ok, I think I got it:

CSHARKPILOT-1 is a FOSSASAT-2
LAIKA is a FOSSASAT-2
WISeSAT-1 is a FOSSASAT-2
WISeSAT-2 is a FOSSASAT-2
FOSSA Systems is operating a FOSSASAT-2
FOSSA Systems is operating a second FOSSASAT-2
Challenger is not a FOSSASAT
SanoSat-1 is not a FOSSASAT

That's 6 FOSSASAT-2 spacecraft
2 FOSSA brokered pocketqubes that are not made by FOSSA

For a total of 8 pocketqubes being brokered for launch by FOSSA (corsponding to the tweet InB4).

So it's maybe FOSSASAT-2E1=WISESAT-1,  FOSSASAT-2E2=WISESAT-2,  FOSSASAT-2E3=PILOT-1,  FOSSASAT-2E4=LAIKA?

Hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to figure out which 6 cubesats are in those two Exolaunch quadpacks, and which are with ISIL.  And what exactly is on ION SCV-004, because I wouldn't count on the current list being everything.

If what we think about FOSSASATs is right (which seems the only viable solution if we assume that information from SupTLEs and SpaceX website is correct), there should be exactly six satellites on ION SCV-004. Thanks to recent tweets we can assume that 5 of them are 4 SatRevolution satellites and VZLUSAT-2. The last one remaining could be anything, but the most obvious candidate is Guardian (https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=52372.msg2255927#msg2255927).

There could also be Doves on there, or any of the other unassigned cubesats.  Also could be hosted payloads.  What we have listed for ION leaves it half empty.  Wouldn't be surprised at all if Planet put some sats on there again.  (I mean Planet sats from the 44 we already know about, probably 36 on one port again, with the overflow either with D-Orbit, the port with the Kepler sats, or both).

A Falcon 9 vehicle sits on SLC-40, ready to launch the Transporter-3 mission for @SpaceX tomorrow morning at 10:25 AM EST.

Amazing: First Nepali Pico Satellite made by Nepali Youths will fly to Space in January on Elon Musk owned SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.

This is SanoSat 1.

Laika is FossaSat 2B.

VZLUSAT 2 is a Spaceflight SXRS 6 payload, so I don't think would be on ION SCV 004.

Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design #1:  Engineering is done with numbers.  Analysis without numbers is only an opinion.

Finally confirmation of total Transporter-3 rideshare satellites by celestrak, they are 82

By the way is this the confirmation of all satellites or those who directly separate from F9 second stage that is indicated by  the words "initial deployment" as in that case total no. of satellites will be much more due to cubesats aboard separate cubesat deployers.

Please note, that some lines in the Preliminary TLE list contain more than one satellite, when more than one Cubesat or Pocketqube is in an deployer. The initial deployment (if i counted correctly) are 98 satellites.
Then later a number of satellites (6 ?) will be deployed from ION-SCV 004.
The Sherpa deployers are not on board of this mission.
Thanks and by the way Celestrak also replied to me and said the same

VZLUSat-2 is onboard ION-SCV 004.

According to https://www.nanosats.eu/sat/fossasat-2e, FossaSat-2E1 is Pilot-1 (CShark Pilot 1).
