Mission overview

On January 14, 2025, Exolaunch successfully deployed 34 satellites onboard SpaceX's Transporter-12 mission. Liftoff occurred at 11:09 am PT / 19:09 UTC from Vandenberg Space Force Base Space Launch in California, USA. Transporter-12 marks Exolaunch's 32nd mission.

The Transporter-12 mission included a wide variety of customer satellites, ranging from nanosatellites to microsatellites, deployed with Exolaunch's flight-proven EXOpod Nova deployers and CarboNIX separation rings. Exolaunch provided its customers with a comprehensive service package, covering end-to-end testing, integration, global logistics, and in-orbit deployment.

Exolaunch's customers on Transporter-12 included: Argotec, Care Weather, Constellr, EnduroSat, Fergani, ICEYE, Impulse Space, Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), NanoAvionics, Ororatech, OrbAstro, Pixxel, Planet, Reflex Aerospace, Satoro, Satellogic, Satlantis, Space Inventor, Spire Global, TRL Space, TU Berlin, UAE University, and Unseenlabs.

The mission was supported by Exolaunch's proprietary deployment hardware, including multiple EXOpod Nova deployers and CarboNIX separation systems. Together, these systems ensured the precise deployment of over 1,500 kg of satellite mass into orbit. (One satellite originally scheduled for this mission was re-manifested to a future rideshare mission to align with the customer's timeline.)

With its first mission of 2025 successfully completed, Exolaunch continues its active participation in SpaceX's rideshare program, contributing to every Transporter mission to date. The company remains committed to providing innovative, reliable, and sustainable access to space for its customers around the globe.
