I haven't seen pictures of several of the payloads, so I'm not sure on the identity of some of the things on that stack.
Most notable is the toally new dispenser design - no longer using ESPA rings

SpaceX only gave the number of payloads deploying directly from the second stage, so not sure what the real total is.
There will be 90 payloads on this flight deployed by Falcon 9, including [...] orbital transfer vehicles carrying an additional 23 spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.
Impulse 1 = LEO Express 1 , I think
We are go for launch!Our first vehicle, Mira, pictured top right on the Transporter-9 stack goes up on Saturday, November 11th!

@SpaceX is targeting Saturday November 11th (18:46 GMT) for the launch of the #Transporter9.Check out the impressive payload stack, featuring both MANTIS and PLATERO.Stay tuned for more details, including how to watch the launch live tomorrow evening.📸 credit: Space X
🚀It's almost #launch time! The first #AOS #satellite, Ymir-1 , is planned for lift-off for no earlier than November 11th.Keep your eyes peeled for more information on our social media🛰️🚢🌍#BeyondHorizons #MaritimeNavigate #AIS2.0 #MaritimeSecurity
It's official! #Barry1 is ready for his journey to space. Can you find him in the payload stack? 🦇 #geauxrogue
We're putting up @Planet's first low flying 'Pelican' tech demo + 36 SuperDoves, aboard @SpaceX’s Transporter-9 mission, slated for *Saturday morning*, 10:49 PT!
Very proud of the SEOPS team on another successful SpaceX Transporter mission. Besides Rideshare Services provided on this mission, we have our equalizer deployers that are on the top left of this picture and others that are integrated into other platforms.
So is the Nanoavionics microsatellite actually spacevan 001? Is there another possibility?
