https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter10QuoteSpaceX is targeting Monday, March 4 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-10 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 2:05 p.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity Tuesday, March 5 at the same time.A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about 10 minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.This will be the fifth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission which previously launched Crew-7, CRS-29, PACE, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.Transporter-10 is SpaceX’s 10th dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 53 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, MicroSats, and a hosted payload. To date, SpaceX has launched nearly 1,000 smallsats for more than 130 customers across our entire Rideshare program.

I see the new-style dispenser is being used again. The list of payloads https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=transporter10is about as expected except for the absence of the Tomorrow.io satellites and the presence of two GHOST.Only 3 ICEYEs this time. Unclear which of the four Lemurs are Hubble 1 and 2, and unclearhow big (3U? 16U?) the other two Lemurs are.Edit: also worth noting most sats going to 515 km but then stage 2 makes an extra two burns toa 590 km orbit where it releases BRO-12/13, HORACIO, RROCI-2, Musat-2, Pony Express 2, MethaneSat and three ICEYE.

I'm pretty sure I got all but the one in the top right behind ICEYE.

Falcon 9 going vertical at SLC-4E ahead of Transporter-10 today.
Another quarter, another @SpaceX rideshare launch. As is often the case, most of the 53 spacecraft launching on the Transporter-10 mission are Earth observation satellites.Here's a breakdown of the diversity of EO satellites launching tonight:
First Launches:- @MethaneSAT from @EnvDefenseFund for global methane monitoring,- MS1 & MS2 from @tomorrowio_ with microwave sounders for weather monitoring,- LizzieSat-1 from @SidusSpace with multispectral and AIS sensors with edge computing capability,
- Aries from @ApexSpacecraft with potential EO instruments along with edge compute,- ContecSat-1 for South Korean firm Contec with a high-resolution imager.
Constellation Updates:- HAMMER from @Open_Cosmos, a hyperspectral imager with edge computing for marine monitoring,- NewSat-44 from @Satellogic with a high-resolution multispectral instrument,- Veery-0E from @CareWeather, with a weather radar,
- YAM 6 from @LoftOrbital with a multispectral and hyperspectral (?) imager,- MuSat-2 from @MuonSpace with GNSS-R and ionospheric instruments for weather and soil moisture monitoring,- 4x microsats from @aerospacelab_ with high-resolution imagers and radio-frequency sensors,
- HORACIO from @satlantis_ with thermal infrared (VNIR/SWIR) instrument,- BRO-12 and BRO-13 from @UnseenLabs with radio-frequency sensors for maritime intelligence,- GHOSt-4, 5 from @OrbitalSidekick with hyperspectral sensors,- 3x @ICEYEfi SAR satellites.
Tech Demos:- OrbAstro-TR2 from @OrbAstro- PYXIS from @axelspace- EWS-RROCI for the US Space Force (by @Orion_Space_CO)- SONATE-2 from Germany- AEROS from Portugal- IRIS-F1 from Taiwanand more.
As always, I love doing these breakdowns for Transporter missions, every quarter. Let me know if I missed any EO satellite. Ad Astra!
