The official mission timeline lists some previously unannounced payloads (some might just be different names for known satellites):

LEO-1
AlfaCrux
Shankuntala
12 Swarm sats

Also, the Hawk sats are 4A, 4B, 4C.

Based on this, I'm guessing Alba Cluster 5 slipped to Transporter-5?

One can already play with simulated EnMAP data using their @qgis plugin

Data: https://enmap.org/data_tools/testdata/
Plugin: https://enmap-box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

There's also a whole course from @DLR_en on @eo_college about hyperspectral that also has more details about EnMAP

LEO-1 is likely Omnispace 1
Shankuntala is likely Pixxel 2

That would pretty much just leave the Endurosat cubesat missing from my current list.

CelesTrak has pre-launch SupTLEs for 20 objects from the @SpaceX #Transporter-4 launch set for Apr 1 at 16:24:16.974 UTC. Deployments occur at 16:38:17.814 UTC to 16:41:48.114 UTC (3 deployments) and 17:38:58.894 UTC to 17:50:33.994 UTC (17 deployments):

With a 30% probability of acceptable weather, and bad weather on the way in, it doesn't look promising for the launch of Transporter 2 tomorrow, but @SpaceX has launched with worse odds.

Hopefully the upcoming Exolaunch press release will actually name the sats (I don't know my flags very well). The six sats using Carbonix would be Satellogic and MP42. One Exopod holds Omnispace. One Exopod is set up for 2x 6U slots, and the other for 6U and 2x3U. I assume BRO-7 is with Exolaunch.

I wonder which integrator did that port with GNOMES-3?

Nanoavionics is supposed to have built a 6U sat on there along with the 12U and MP42.

Is Pixxel-2 a 6U cubesat?

The weather is already miserable and from what I hear, it isn't supposed to clear up until 5pm. I could be selfish and hope for good weather if only because my dog doesn't like to go out in the rain.

Just how many payloads are on this mission?

Maybe Slovakia accounts for BD-Sat (even though the headquarters of the research institute that manifactured it are in Czech Republic), but what about Denmark and Lithuania? I don't recall any of the payloads having link with those two countries

MP42 is from Lithuania
Not sure about Denmark

Transporter-4 is set to launch on April 1st at 12:24 PM ET. There is currently a 30% chance of favorable weather.
B1061 will be supporting this mission.
