Azista BST Aerospace Rolls out Maiden Satellite

Ibadan, 5 June 2023. – Azista BST Aerospace will launch its first satellite ABA First Runner (AFR), aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on 12th June 2023 as part of the Transporter 8 Mission. This follows from the Company’s creation of a 50,000-square-foot facility capable of supporting the production of two satellites per week.

The first satellite, AFR, is an 80kg satellite on a modular bus platform and hosts a wide-swath optical remote sensing payload. The satellite also enjoys both panchromatic and multispectral imaging capabilities. As a result, AFR represents one of the first satellites of its size and performance from the private space industry in India, capable of supporting various critical applications for civilian and defense purposes.

Chile will put satellite into orbit using SpaceX rocket
06/07/2023 09:21 am

Chile is going to put into orbit a new satellite, the FASat-Delta, destined to capture terrestrial images and that will be launched through a rocket of the company SpaceX, of the tycoon Elon Musk.
...
The satellite, owned by FACh and the Israeli company ImageSat International (ISI), will be put into orbit on Monday, the 12th, by the Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket, developed and operated by SpaceX.
...
FASat-Delta, which is part of the Chilean National Satellite System, can capture images in grayscale, color, and 90-second videos. It weighs 90 kg, which classifies it as a small satellite, and should operate in low orbit, at an altitude of 550 km.

This is my first time posting within the Missions section of NSF maybe there is a better thread to ask this, but I'm trying to confirm weather this mission (Transporter-8) will have a wide launch window or be an instantaneous launch window. I'd love to know if there is a standard rule I can apply based on the target orbit or something that would be known long in advance of the missions so I can look into these types of questions myself.

Thank you

Terran Orbital and ImageSat International (ISI) Prepare for the Launch of the RUNNER-1 Earth Observation Satellite
(Image Credit: Terran Orbital)

Boca Raton, Fla., June 8, 2023 – Terran Orbital Corporation (NYSE: LLAP) (“Terran Orbital” or “the Company”), a global leader in satellite-based solutions primarily serving the aerospace and defense industries, today announced final launch preparations for the RUNNER-1 satellite. The satellite will be launched aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter-8 rideshare mission scheduled from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA.

RUNNER-1, developed jointly by Terran Orbital and ImageSat International Ltd. (TASE:ISI) (“ImageSat International” or “ISI”), Israel’s largest space company and a world leader in space-based intelligence solutions, is a multi-purpose remote sensing satellite capable of sub-meter high-resolution multi-spectral imaging and color video.

The satellite is slated to join ISI’s constellation of satellites and provide services to the Chilean Government as part of the contract awarded to ISI to build out the country’s national space program.

The RUNNER-1 satellite is based on Terran Orbital’s advanced avionics platform and a unique electro-optical mission system developed by ISI. Along with a ground control system and advanced AI capabilities, the RUNNER-1 system enables effective collection and analysis of information and provides a rapid response for various scenarios, including infrastructure monitoring, natural disasters, security events, climate change, and more.

RUNNER-1 will also serve the Chilean government in its national space development program, which was awarded to ISI following an extensive international tender process. The satellite, domestically called FASat Delta, is a key component of the Chilean national space program vision.

Chile’s national space program (“Sistema Nacional Espacial”) is a holistic program for the construction of a future space-based ecosystem, created to generate public value, social development, and increased wealth for the country, as part of which ISI will provide an extensive national infrastructure, including geo-location data management systems, development, science, education, a provisional for AI capabilities, and advanced space-based technology solutions.

“Terran Orbital is ecstatic to announce Runner-1’s upcoming launch,” said Terran Orbital Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Marc Bell. “RUNNER-1’s rapid response capabilities will change the world. Working with ISI and the Chilean Space program to develop this revolutionary satellite has been an absolute joy. We look forward to continuing to work with ISI and the Chilean Space Program in the future.”

No splashdown area for the fairing halves, but the launch hazard area looks good.

I believe CyanoSat 1.0 is launching on this flight. The web page says launch is "mid-2023" and there is to be a launch party on 15 June.

The references I can easily find say CyanoSat is an imager, and will launch with SpaceX, but is it going as a hosted payload on something instead of a standalone satellite?

Is the above reference to hazard/keep out zone windows or T+0 times?

I'm still new to following missions this closely, but for this mission did the T+0 change from 2114 as an instantaneous time to now T+0 being 2114-2257Z? Going forward, how can I tell which missions have a launch window and which don't?
