D-Orbit plans to launch an updated version of the ION Satellite Carrier in December on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission.
The ION set to launch in December also will serve as a platform for in-orbit demonstrations. Once ION releases its passenger satellites, hosted payloads will operate onboard for a period of 12 to 18 months.

European Space Agency, ESA691 тыс. подписчиковIn preparation for liftoff on 10 November, the Copernicus Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite has been fuelled. The video shows the satellite being spun around on its frame and then moved out of the cleanroom. The satellite was subsequently fuelled. Everything went very smoothly, with the team completing this somewhat hazardous task in just one day. The fuelling team followed up to check that there were no leaks and then sealed the fill and drain valves.The next task is to join the satellite to the launch adapter before it is finally encapsulated in the Falcon 9 rocket fairing. Liftoff from the Vandenberg Air Force base in California has been confirmed for 19:29:39 GMT (20:29:39 CET) on 10 November.
