Cape Canaveral Space Force Base, Fla., USA — Oct 02, 2025 — Exolaunch, a global leader in launch mission management, satellite integration and deployment services, will deploy 13 satellites for customers across the world on the upcoming Bandwagon-4 mission with SpaceX. The flight is scheduled to lift off no earlier than November 2025 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base, Florida, aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

Following a remarkable year of Exolaunch's biggest missions to date, Bandwagon-4 builds on the company's steady growth, enabling launch access for cubesats and microsatellites supporting Earth observation, IoT as well as science and technology demonstration missions with customers originating from Argentina, Czechia, Finland, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United States.

Exolaunch will deploy more than a dozen customer satellites using its flight-proven CarboNIX separation systems, EXOpod Nova CubeSat deployers and modular multi-satellite adapter EXOport. The company's industry-leading deployment systems are designed to ensure safe, reliable and precise separation for all spacecraft. Exolaunch has successfully deployed satellites on every previous Bandwagon mission.

Building on the proven performance of CarboNIX, Exolaunch will also utilize its latest 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-inch, 15-inch and 24-inch, 31.6-inch and 38.81-inch sizes. It is scalable to any custom diameter for satellites of more than 1,000 kilograms. 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.

“We are deeply grateful to SpaceX for our strong collaboration, with every mission reflecting our shared vision of making space accessible globally,” said Robert Sproles, chief executive officer at Exolaunch. “With Bandwagon-4, we can deploy our customers in a unique mid-inclination orbit and add extra capacity to our launch manifest, supporting both new and long-standing customers as they advance Earth observation, connectivity and scientific discovery.”

The Bandwagon-4 mission will take place in the runup to the Transporter-15 mission with SpaceX, Exolaunch's largest to date, supporting 59 satellites for 30 commercial, institutional and government customers from 16 countries aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

In May 2025, Exolaunch announced new multiyear contracts to continue launching aboard SpaceX rideshare missions through 2028 and securing launch capacity for Exolaunch customers for years ahead. Exolaunch remains the only launch integrator with payloads manifested on every Transporter mission with SpaceX since their rideshare program began in 2020.

In 2025 alone, Exolaunch has completed eight missions for 125 customer satellites across multiple global launch vehicles, representing the biggest missions in the company's history, and demonstrating exponential growth. With every successfully executed mission to date, Exolaunch is uniquely positioned as the launch integrator of choice for satellite deployment at global scale.
