I think it has gone unnoticed in this thread that SpaceX changed their Transporter mission patch design for this launch.

I think that x-xx are spacebees by checking https://www.nanosats.eu/database.

It can't : SpaceBees are 0.25U satellites, they are launched 4 at a time, not 3.
And X-xx is the naming scheme of Iceye satellites (confirmed by tweet from Iceye just upwards).

There is a stack of 12 SpaceBees in the deployment list

It’s official! 🚀 We're launching 3 more radar imaging satellites with the @SpaceX Transporter-6 mission on Tuesday.

Our VP of Space Systems, Terence Lee, explains what’s so unique about this launch and why it is important for ICEYE.

Interesting. "Y3" in the file name suggests "year 3", so I guess they'll make a new patch for every year with Transporter missions.

According to the Epic Aerospace website CHIMERA LEO is a space tug, but I have no idea of what cubesats it is carrying. (https://epic-aerospace.com/spacecraft.html)

Also, does anyone know if the Sony Sphere-1 mentioned in SpaceX's timeline ans Sony's EYE cubesat mentioned in this press release are the same spacecraft?

As we get closer to the launch, see our high-resolution radar image of SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, FL.

The @SpaceX Transporter-6 mission is expected to be launched from here on Tuesday at 14:56 UTC, delivering 3 ICEYE #SAR satellites into orbit!

Does anyone here know how one might go about getting either/both of these mission patches? My Dad's remains are among those on one of the hosted payloads on the Launcher Orbiter SN1 that will be launching aboard Transporter 6. It would be great if I could get some of the mission patches for family members.

Flexible antenna's made from chopped up tape measures. "Skycraft" will embark on another proof of concept launch this week on SpaceX Transporter 6. A planned constellation of 200 satellites enter commercial ops in 2024, making aviation safer.
