SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket climbs into clouds over Cape Canaveral to begin the Transporter 4 mission. Credit: SpaceXSpaceX launched a German environmental mapping satellite and 39 co-passenger spacecraft Friday, dodging thunderstorms near Cape Canaveral that threatened to keep the Falcon 9 rocket on the ground.
The rideshare mission, named Transporter 4, lifted off at 12:24:17 p.m. EDT (1624:17 GMT) from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Forecasters initially predicted just a 30% chance weather would be acceptable for launch Friday, but SpaceX proceeded with the countdown, and clouds lifted just enough to make it safe for the Falcon 9 to blast off from Florida’s Space Coast. (...)
It was SpaceX’s fourth dedicated rideshare launch carrying a flotilla of payloads for commercial startups and foreign governments. The 40 payloads on the Transporter 4 mission included spacecraft of various sizes, plus “non-deploying hosted payloads and an orbital transfer vehicle carrying spacecraft to be deployed at a later time,” SpaceX said.
A one-ton German observation satellite — named the Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program, or EnMAP — sat on top of a stack of microsatellites, CubeSats, and even smaller “picosats” for the ride into orbit Friday.
EnMAP was the biggest of the bunch, weighing roughly 2,160 pounds (980 kilograms) and about the size of a compact car, dwarfing its co-passengers on the Transporter 4 mission.
The EnMAP project is managed by DLR, the German space agency, which first approved the satellite for development in 2006. The launch of EnMAP has been delayed a decade due to technological and engineering problems, mainly associated with the satellite’s sophisticated imaging instrument. (...)
Fischer declined to disclose SpaceX’s launch price for EnMAP, but said the expense was included in the mission’s total budget of about 300 million euros ($330 million), which also includes five years of operations in orbit. EnMAP’s budget was originally set for 90 million euros. (...)
After moving to the lower orbit, the Falcon 9 released the rest of the Transporter payloads.
The other payloads included
five spacecraft for Satellogic’s commercial Earth observation fleet, growing the Argentine company’s constellation to 22 satellites. One of the Satellogic “NewSat” satellites that launched on Transporter 4 is an upgraded spacecraft model with an improved camera and on-board computers.
There were
three formation-flying spacecraft on the Transporter 4 launch for HawkEye 360, a U.S. company building a satellite constellation to detect and locate the source of terrestrial radio signals. HawkEye 360 says its RF monitoring satellites recently detected GPS interference in Ukraine as Russian military forces invaded the country.
Lynk Global, a Virginia-based company developing technology to connect standard mobile phones through satellites, launched its sixth spacecraft on the Transporter 4 mission, according Charles Miller, the company’s CEO. Named Lynk Tower 1, it’s the first satellite covered in Lynk Global’s application for commercial service with the Federal Communications Commission.
The company refers to its technology as akin to a cell tower in space, providing two-way connectivity for broadband, voice, and text messaging anywhere in the world.
Lynk Tower 1 had a launch weight of about 132 pounds, or 60 kilograms, Miller told Spaceflight Now.
Other satellites on the Transporter 4 mission included
MP42, a new design for a microsatellite platform developed by NanoAvionics in Lithuania. The
BRO-7 CubeSat, about the size of a small briefcase, was launched for the French startup UnseenLabs, which is fielding a constellation of satellites for maritime surveillance.
The Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, a research arm of the Norwegian military, launched the
ARCSAT six-unit CubeSat to demonstrate UHF tactical communications in the North Sea and the Arctic region.
The Transporter 4 mission also launched a CubeSat named
BDSAT from the Czech Republic for a technology demonstration mission, the
AlfaCrux educational and tech demo CubeSat from the University of Brasilia in Brazil, and a small satellite from the
Indian remote sensing startup Pixxel named Shakuntala.
There were also
12 tiny “picosatellites” on the Transporter 4 mission for Swarm Technologies, a company owned by Space. Swarm is developing a low-data-rate satellite communications system. Each of the Swarm satellites is about the size of a slice of bread.
A satellite for the Italian company D-Orbit also deployed from the Falcon 9 rocket on the Transporter 4 mission.
D-Orbit’s ION satellite carrier vehicle flew away from the Falcon 9 and release seven smaller spacecraft in the next few weeks.
Kleos is not a customer of D-Orbit. Kleos is a Spaceflight Inc. customer, and we partnered with D-Orbit to deploy them. We own the launch contract. It may seem like a nuance, but our legal team is really specific that we get that stated properly.
The payloads on D-Orbit’s carrier include four spacecraft from Kleos Space of Luxembourg. Kleos contracted with Spaceflight, a rideshare launch broker, on SpaceX’s Transporter 3 mission in January, but the satellites missed the launch.
Spaceflight partnered with D-Orbit to launch the Kleos satellites on Transporter 4. Kleos says its satellites can detect and geolocate radio frequency transmissions, providing intelligence on maritime activity for governments and commercial customers. The Kleos mission is similar to the three HawkEye 360 spacecraft that also flew on the Transporter 4 launch.
Three university-built CubeSats from Chile are also riding on D-Orbit’s satellite carrier module,
and a payload that will remain attached to the ION vehicle carries small items from four clients of Upmosphere, an Italian startup offering accommodations for customers to place keepsakes and mementos into wooden boxes for a flight into orbit.
