Berlin, Germany — June 11, 2026 — Exolaunch, a global leader in launch mission management, satellite integration, and deployment services, will deploy 49 customer satellites on the upcoming Transporter-17 rideshare mission with SpaceX, launching aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base no earlier than July 2026.

Exolaunch has manifested and deployed satellites on every Transporter rideshare mission since the program's inception in 2020. This latest launch further strengthens both Exolaunch's long-lasting collaboration with SpaceX and the company's role as a core infrastructure provider within the global launch ecosystem, enabling reliable, repeatable, and cost-efficient access to orbit for satellite operators.

The Transporter-17 mission will support a diverse group of more than 20 international customers, from the United States, the United Kingdom, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, reflecting continued demand for rideshare access across both established constellation operators and emerging space players.

Exolaunch's customers aboard the Transporter-17 rideshare mission will benefit from the company's decade-long heritage of executing launch campaigns and deployments at scale, alongside a comprehensive suite of services supporting every stage of the mission, from technical integration and mission management to logistics, customs, and regulatory coordination. This offering includes launch program planning and launch capacity procurement, end-to-end launch mission management, environmental testing, satellite integration, global shipping and customs clearance, and satellite deployment using Exolaunch's flight-proven technologies.

As with previous Transporter missions, Exolaunch is utilizing its portfolio of deployment technologies to ensure precise and reliable separation:

• EXOpod Nova deployers for standard and high-volume, high-mass cubesats;

• CarboNIX separation rings in multiple sizes for precise and shock-free microsatellite separation;

• Quadro Arrow four-point microsatellite separation systems for synchronized low tip-off deployments.

“As the launch market continues to evolve, customers increasingly value certainty, flexibility, and a partner they can rely on to navigate a dynamic launch landscape,” said Jeanne Allarie, Chief Investor Relations Officer at Exolaunch. “Exolaunch has built its reputation on delivering precisely that. Our long-standing collaboration with SpaceX, combined with our deep mission management expertise and flight-proven deployment technologies, enables us to provide customers with reliable access to orbit and confidence throughout every phase of the mission.”

“Transporter-17 is another important milestone that reflects the strength of our collaboration with SpaceX and the trust that satellite operators place in Exolaunch,” said Kier Fortier, Chief Revenue Officer at Exolaunch. “We are set to deploy 49 spacecraft on this mission and remain committed to helping our customers achieve their business and mission objectives through reliable execution, transparent collaboration, and world-class launch services.”

Beyond the Transporter-17 mission, Exolaunch continues to expand its role in global launch infrastructure. Earlier this month, the company announced that they have signed a contract with SpaceX for two Falcon 9 launches, marking a major expansion of the company's launch capabilities and establishing a new class of launch access for global satellite operators. The two Falcon 9 missions — Exo-1 and Exo-2 — are scheduled to launch no earlier than late 2027 and 2028, respectively.
