The latest SpaceX rideshare mission Jan. 14 deployed satellites ranging from dozens of imaging satellites to reentry vehicles, tugs and even a “selfie sat.”
I love seeing the infrastructure companies make progress, like the tugs (2 from DeOrbit, 1 from Impulse) and return capsules from Varda and Inversion.
It’s also cool to see these lower launch costs and increased accessibility, like for Pixxel’s Indian hyperspectral sats and SatRev’s non-Earth imaging.
The Mark Rober sat… I’m not the target audience, but, hey, maybe that’ll inspire some kids.
They are fun. Though I am sad that the webcast timelines now say “Deployments Begin”, rather than marking each deployment. Watching “Deploy Deploy Deploy Deploy Deploy” slide into view was always amusing.
Transporters are so much fun.
