Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., USA — Sept 10, 2025 — Exolaunch, a global leader in launch mission management, satellite integration and deployment services, will deploy 59 customer satellites on the upcoming Transporter-15 rideshare mission with SpaceX aboard a Falcon 9 rocket scheduled for no earlier than November 2025. This mission, Exolaunch's largest to date, supports more than 30 customers across 16 countries, and reaffirms Exolaunch's position as the premier partner for satellite launches and demonstrates unmatched reliability, technical expertise and continuously validated flight heritage.

Transporter-15 marks a continued trajectory of growth for Exolaunch, enabling launch access for over 30 commercial, institutional, and government customers from 16 countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, Lithuania, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Bulgaria, and the United Arab Emirates.

Flight-Proven Deployment Hardware: EXOpod Nova, CarboNIX, and Quadro

As with previous missions, Exolaunch is utilizing its portfolio of flight-proven hardware:

• EXOpod Nova deployers for both 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

Exolaunch will also utilize its latest, stiffer CarboNIX NEO separation system to deploy a customer satellite. NEO is designed and built on the basis of the flight-proven CarboNIX and is an off-the-shelf separation system available in 8", 15", and 24", 31.6" and 38.81" sizes. It is scalable to any custom diameter for satellites upwards of 1,000 kg. While NEO uses the same lock mechanism and pusher arm subsystems as CarboNIX, NEO employs a new clamp ring system which is stronger, stiffer, can withstand higher loads and launch heavier spacecraft than any other separation system on the market.

With this launch, Exolaunch continues to expand the adoption of its deployment solutions, now considered among the most reliable and user-friendly in the industry. Exolaunch remains the only launch integrator with payloads manifested on every Transporter mission with SpaceX since their Rideshare Program began in 2020. This mission will significantly expand Exolaunch's flight heritage and unlock new commercial programs with the leading satellite constellations, building on the deployment of more than 580 satellites across 39 previous missions aboard multiple global launch vehicles.

“We're proud to continue our long-standing collaboration with SpaceX on Transporter-15, integrating 59 satellites for launch. This mission marks another record in Exolaunch's rapid global growth and unmatched deployment track record,” said Jeanne Allarie, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Exolaunch. “This launch reflects both the scale we've achieved and the trust our customers place in us. We're deeply grateful for their continued partnership, and to SpaceX for enabling reliable, regular access to space that makes this all possible.”

To better serve Europe and Asia, Exolaunch has opened new offices in Toulouse and Tokyo in 2025, enabling faster, localized support for small satellite operators in those markets. These new hubs complement its expanding Berlin headquarters and U.S. integration facilities in Denver, enhancing Exolaunch's ability to deliver rapid mission services globally. Additionally, Exolaunch recently signed a multiyear payload processing agreement with All Points Logistics, for fueling, import logistics, and more, bringing on-site processing services at Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida, and Vandenberg Space Force Base, California online.

In May 2025, Exolaunch announced new multiyear contracts to continue launching on SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare missions through 2028. These agreements cover all Transporter missions to date, securing launch capacity for its customers for years ahead. In 2025 alone, Exolaunch has completed eight missions for 125 customer satellites across multiple global launch vehicles so far. With every successfully executed mission to date, Exolaunch is uniquely positioned as the launch integrator of choice for satellite deployment at global scale.
