The MuSats are planned to be launched as secondary payloads on SpaceX Falcon9 Transporter ride-share missions. MuSat-2 is planned to be launched in October of 2023 on Transporter 9 and MuSat-3 is planned for mid-2024 on Transporter 11.
...
The MuSat satellites are demonstration spacecraft with two primary goals. The first goal is to demonstrate and validate the on-orbit performance of Muon Space’s in-house avionics suite. The second goal is to provide validation and early commercial data from GNSS occultation and reflectometry payloads as well additional payloads that will be hosted on the spacecraft.

The MuSat satellites have external dimensions of 0.752m x 1.206m x 0.864m, both stowed and
deployed, as the system contains no deployables. The spacecraft mass at launch is estimated
to be 67.4kg, and as there are no consumables or separable hardware, this will effectively
remain constant over the lifetime of the mission.
Umbra under the DARPA contract will demonstrate a technique known as bistatic collection. Monostatic SAR imaging is done with a single radar that has the transmitter and receiver collocated. Bistatic imaging uses two radars, one that transmits and receives, and the other that only receives.
“We plan to build out the remainder of our constellation with pairs of satellites flying in tight formation to support bistatic collection and other combined operations that provide unique phenomenology,” he said.

SpaceIn Signs Rideshare Agreement with Alba Orbital to Launch IoT Picosatellite Mission in Q4 2023
MALAYSIAN NEW-SPACE STARTUP TEAM UP WITH ALBA ORBITAL TO LAUNCH MALAYSIA’S 1ST POCKETQUBE VIA SPACEX IN 2023 AS AN IN-ORBIT TECH DEMO FOR IOT CONSTELLATION.
Glasgow, UK – May 30, 2023 – Alba Orbital, the leading provider of PocketQube satellite launch services, today announced that SpaceIn Sdn Bhd, a spin-off company of Universiti Sains Malaysia specializing in satellite IoT services has signed a launch services agreement to launch to an in-orbit tech demonstration mission for an IoT picosatellite constellation. Space ANT-D is the first Malaysian PocketQube and will be flying on board SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket in Q4 2023.
SpaceANT is a 1P PocketQube satellite that’s no bigger than a rubik’s cube, measuring at just 5x5x5 cm and weighing under 250g. The launch in Q4 2023 is set to be a technology demonstration of this concept, with SpaceIn planning to launch an IoT constellation in the near future. The satellite’s namesake ‘SpaceANT’ stands for “Space Advance Network Technology”, and is a reference to both the satellite’s size and capability.

We want to send congratulations to all aboard @SpaceX Transporter 8 launching this afternoon! The IVO Quantum Drive mission has been rebooked on @SpaceX Transporter 9 due to launch October of this year. We want to extend a massive thank you to @RogueSpaceCorp and their partners for their attention to detail and drive to change the world.
Outpost requests authority to launch and operate one NGSO 3U cubesatellite Outpost Mission 2.
Mission 2 mirrors the recently authorized Outpost mission, except for the name (Mission 2 instead
of Mission 0) and addition of two gas generators.
A thermal protection system is required to protect spacecraft on reentry to celestial bodies with
atmospheres. NASA's hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerator (“HIAD”) is one such
system being developing for missions to planets and moons with atmospheres as well as returning
payloads to Earth. To support such government and commercial deployments, Outpost is
developing GasPak, a low mass, low temperature, and clean gas generator that would inflate
HIADs and similar reentry-aiding hardware. Mission 2 will carry and, once on orbit, attempt to
start two nitrogen-producing gas generators.
Mission 2 will not attempt any reusable reentry. It will only trial the flight software,
avionics, power system, radiofrequency links, and gas generators that could support future reusable
satellites.
Anticipated launch vehicle and site: Exolaunch deployer on Transporter 9 launch onboard SpaceX Falcon
9 from Cape Canaveral, Florida
Proposed launch date: no earlier than October 1, 2023
Launch and deployment profile: delivered to circular sun-synchronous, low-Earth Orbit (LEO) with a
nominal altitude of 525 km ±20 km altitude and MLTDN 10:30 + 60 min
Total mass at launch: approximately 4.353 kg

Odyssey SpaceWorks requests authority to launch and operate one non-geostationary
orbit satellite, OSW Cazorla. The requested licensing issue date is August 20, 2023
given current launch service provider requirements for the Transporter-9 mission.
The goal is to monitor and measure the growth and
effectiveness of fruit fly protein cells in LEO gravity compared to an Earth-based
identical experiment. It will help determine cell culture production feasibility in space
and could serve as a proof point for off-world pharmaceutical production.
The OSW Cazorla satellite is based on the EnduroSat 3U cubesat.
Looks like 2 rideshares announced for H-3 test flight 2 just now
