Exolaunch deploys 45 customer satellites to orbit—their largest mission to date

June 24, 2025

Exolaunch has successfully deployed 45 customer satellites on SpaceX’s Transporter-14 rideshare mission aboard the Falcon 9 launch vehicle. The mission marks a significant milestone for the company — its largest launch to date, further reinforcing its position as the premier launch integrator and deployment solution provider for global satellite missions.

SpaceX Falcon 9 lifts off from Vandenberg Space Force Base with the Transporter-14 rideshare mission

The Transporter-14 mission carried satellites from 25 customers from 15 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, Italy, South Korea, Canada, Japan, and Australia. Exolaunch managed the comprehensive launch campaign—from mission manifesting, global satellite logistics and environmental testing support to in-house deployment hardware and on-site satellite integration.

For this campaign, Exolaunch manifested and used the firm’s full suite of flight-proven deployment technologies for the following customers…

Aerospacelab for Xona Space Systems – PULSAR IOV
Alén Space – SITMAR
AVS – UND ROADS 1 & UND ROADS 2 launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-14 rideshare mission.

Naraspace – ADDCUBE
SpaceBD on behalf of its customer – AE2a & AE3Va
SpaceForge – ForgeStar-1
Spire Global – LEMUR-2-SEJONG-2; LEMUR-2-KRISH
Startical – IOD2_STARTICAL
The Democritus University of Thrace – DUTHSat-2
The University of Jena – QUICK3
Unseenlabs – BRO-18
University of California, Berkeley – PADRE

The company also provided its deployment technologies and satellite integration services to the following customers:

Argotec – seven HEO satellites
Axelspace – GRUS-3a
Loft Orbital – YAM-10
Space Inventor – BIFROST

This is a landmark 37th mission for Exolaunch and an incredible testament to the trust placed in us by our customers and partners,” said Dr. Robert Sproles, Chief Executive Officer at Exolaunch. “Executing a deployment of this scale requires not just precision and reliability, but the kind of deep experience and collaboration that comes from dozens of successful missions.”

We’re incredibly grateful to SpaceX for their trust and strong collaboration, which now extends through 2028,” said Jeanne Allarie, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Exolaunch. “Our new multi-year launch contracts with SpaceX enable us to support many new and existing satellite constellations well into the next decade, giving our customers reliable access to a wider range of orbits — including SSO, near-polar, mid-inclination and dawn-dusk missions. We’re energizing our future pipeline and unlocking new deployment opportunities as the industry scales rapidly.”

Exolaunch has launched with SpaceX since 2020, executing more than 160 contracts to date and successfully deploying over 450 diverse satellites (out of 575 in total) across 21 mission aboard Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. Exolaunch has been the only launch integrator to have manifested satellites on every Transporter rideshare mission. The company integrates and deploys the full range of satellites — from cubesats up to 16U to microsatellites ranging from 20 to 800 kilograms and larger payloads constantly delivering the most reliable and convenient launch experience to global satellite operators. This was the 37th mission in the company’s flight heritage, the 6th launch in 2025 out of 15 launch campaigns Exolaunch is set to accomplish this year across different global launch vehicles.
