SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket flexed its muscles yet again. On the evening of June 12, the Transporter-8 mission launched dozens of smallsats (i.e., “small satellites”) on a dedicated rideshare mission with customers ranging from the U.S. Space Force to startups deploying their first satellites in space. Ever since SpaceX launched the first of these rideshare missions, Transporter-1 in January 2021, the launch veteran is now striking a regular launch cadence, providing reliable and cost-effective means to get payload into orbit.
