3U ANSER (Advanced Nanosatellite Systems for Earth-observation Research) cubesat confirmed [May 24]Quote“Our team has finished the integration of a new CubeSat – ANSER Leader-S – which will replace the original lost Leader, incorporating a new S-band radio to improve its communications capabilities with the ground. Its launch has been booked with ISILAUNCH in the Netherlands and SpaceX for next October, with a close enough orbit that if all goes well it can join the ANSER – demonstrating the innovative concept of uploading new hardware to an existing mission.”

5 NEI cameras are heading to orbit on 4 partner launches!These launches will mark our first Adler Imager in orbit and grow our network to over 50 sensors.Every camera boosts our ability to deliver high-frequency NEI solutions for a secure and sustainable space environment.
Vandenberg Guardians and Airmen are set to support the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch of the Bandwagon-2 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) on Dec. 21, with the launch window opening at 3 a.m. PT.Approximately eight minutes after liftoff, Falcon 9’s first stage will land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg.Residents local to the base may hear a sonic boom upon landing, which will vary based on weather and other conditions.A backup launch opportunity is scheduled for 3 a.m. on Dec. 22, 2024.The 3 a.m. launch window is necessary to achieve the required orbital location.Launch dates and times are subject to change at any time due to mission requirements.Updates will be posted here: https://shorturl.at/tdFYq

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, December 21 at 3:34 a.m. PT for a Falcon 9 launch of the Bandwagon-2 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Saturday, December 21 at 3:12 a.m. PT.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.There are 30 payloads on board this mission for KOREA ADD, Arrow Science and Technology, Exolaunch, HawkEye 360, Maverick Space Systems, Sidus Space, Tomorrow Companies Inc., True Anomaly, and Think Orbital.This will be the 21st flight of the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, Transporter-9, NROL-146, and 13 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Targeting two Falcon 9 launches starting tomorrow → http://spacex.com/launches
~Eight hours later, another Falcon 9 will launch the Bandwagon-2 mission to a mid-inclination orbit from California.

Finally, ONDO Space has signed another launch contract with ExoLaunch, a SpaceX rideshare company, to launch 10 more 0.5U satellites in October 2024.
Scheduled to launch in Fall 2024, Pleiades - Orpheus will be the launch of a PROVES Kit based satellite from the Irvington High School Girls in STEM Club! Funded by the gracious donations of Christie English, the Orhpeus project will be a trail of flowing the educational potential of the PROVES Kit upstream to a group of students from a public highschool in Fremont, California.
