You'd think having the deployment list would clear things up, but...
I wish I had the D-Orbit manifest, and knew what if anything is on SpaceVan001.
Is IRIS C2 Taiwanese? From Satoro Taiwan?
I assume TIGER 5/6 are for OQ Technologies?
What are AETHER1/2? What are ORBASTRO TR1/PC1?
Only 10 of the 11 LEMURS are listed (at least as LEMURS)
Is Platform-5 the same as Barry-1?
What is B1B2?
Are all the US Government payloads actually listed?
Are some of the things expected to be on this flight actually on the other flight at the end of the month?

AETHER 1/2 could be from Kepler?

Is there a Maverick dispenser on this flight?
IRIS C2 and
OMNI-LER1 are listed with Maverick NLAS.
IRIS C is 3U.
OMNI-LER1 is 6U.
Maverick has a new dispenser scheduled for launch Q4 2023:
Mercury-6T, Maverick’s 6U Tab-Based Dispenser.
https://www.maverickspace.com/hardware
MP42-2 could carry a Tiger payload, as
MP42 did in April 2022.
MP42-2#SmallSats come in all shapes and sizes, and the 3 satellites we manufactured for our customers launching with SpaceX on Transporter-9 NET November show the difference:
🛰️ The 6U "NinjaSat" for @riken_en and Mitsui Bussan Aerospace is the size of a shoebox with a mass of around 10kg. Yet, it will study tiny black holes and supernovae known for their space-time-bending heaviness.
🛰️ The 16U high-resolution nanosatellite for @PROMETHEE_Space is the size of a microwave weighing nearly 30kg. All that mass will deliver 1.5-meter resolution imagery in 7 spectral bands for Promethee's data platform.
🛰️ The washing machine-sized MP42 #microsatellite weighing well over 100kg will put its weight into demonstrating our undisclosed customer technologies in orbit.

Maverick is on most of the Transporter missions now, and I'd guess they probably also handled FalconSat-X. I assume the EQUALIZER is from SEOPS. I'm wondering about the "WEDGIERIDE" dispenser that Momentus is using. I guess ten LEMURs, OUTPOST, PLATERO, and everything starting with NOVA make up the ExoLaunch cubesat contingent. ISIL has handled the big Dove groups in the past, and may be doing the Kepler sats?
I'm not seeing an obvious match for the 42U sat on that list.

I see no evidence of the Alba Orbital Cluster 8 payloads aboard
Transporter-9 in the CelesTrak TLEs. Are they aboard
425 Project EO/IR rideshare instead?
Alba Orbital
ROM-3 (2P, RomSpace, Romania)
Space ANT-D (1P, SpaceIn, Malaysia)
HADES-D (1.5P, AMSAT EA, Spain)

Hello, we are always grateful for your passionate dedication.
We are the team developing the JINJUSat-1 satellite to be mounted on TR-9.
From the TLE information announced this time on celestrack,
We confirmed that the name 'Wedgieride' is added in front of our satellite name. What does this mean?
thank you

Alba Orbital

Space ANT-D (1P, SpaceIn, Malaysia)
HADES-D (1.5P, AMSAT EA, Spain)
This schedule from Alba suggests they were planning to have presence on both T-9 and Project 425, but it's quite old so maybe plans changed or maybe there was a delay to T-10.

If the lack of evidence comes from their absence in the TLEs I think it might be because, as for Transporter-8, the Alba pods are hosted on the ION SCV carrier (and I think I remember some of the sources in this thread mentioned it at some point). Of course, that doesn't exclude that the pods might just not be onboard.

Yes, these are two satellites built by the Danish company Space Inventors
Is Platform-5 the same as Barry-1?
What is B1B2?
According to Eric Kulu's list, Barry-1 is B1B2.

I think that EPICHyper-3 and Ymir-1 can be safely assumed to be on ION SCV since that has been the case for all the cubesats built by AAC CLyde Space in the past Transporter missions.

In the data from Celestrak, they added an identifier for the deployer to many of the names. I assume that will not be part of the satellite's name in the official catalog. I have no idea why the Momentus deployer is called "Wedgieride".

I have a confirmation that Intuition-1 built by KP Labs will be onboard D-Orbit ION.
EDIT: One more thing, their satellite computer called Antelope (more can be found here:
https://kplabs.space/antelope/) will be a hosted payload aboard ION.

https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter-9 SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 11 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-9 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 55-minute launch window opens at 10:49 a.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity Sunday, November 12 with the same window.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 10 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, and six Starlink missions (=B1071.12). Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Transporter-9 is SpaceX’s ninth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 90 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, MicroSats, and orbital transfer vehicles carrying spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.

It would be nice if SpaceX would continue the live stream beyond the "Orbit insertion confirmed" to allow the customer(s) to see their payload(s) dispensed rather than a tweet.

That would be one hell of a landing burn.

I think the MET for the landing burn startup should be T+7 minutes, 2 seconds. A 22-second landing burn seems the most logical.
