Launch Notes

This launch debuted a new MVac nozzle extension design aimed at increasing cadence and reducing costs. This new nozzle extension is shorter and, as a result, the engine has a lower specific impulse and, therefore, performance. Due to this, it will only fly on missions that don't need Falcon 9's full performance capability.

Transporter 7

Transporter 7 is a dedicated rideshare mission by SpaceX. SpaceX’s SmallSat Rideshare Program provides small satellite operators with regularly scheduled, dedicated Falcon 9 rideshare missions to SSO for ESPA class payloads for as low as $275,000 per mission, which includes up to 50kg of payload mass.
