Spacex Transporter-7 Scrubs Launch Of 51 Payloads, Return Booster To LZ
SpaceX scrubbed its 24th time this year with the Transporter-7 rideshare mission from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base due to weather constraints. The mission will try again on Friday at 11:47 PM PDT (06:47 UTC on April 15). On this flight, the launch integrators with ports on the payload stack include Exolaunch, handling 16 CubeSats and five microsatellites on the current mission. ISIL placed several of their customer CubeSats with Exolaunch and Momentus. SEOPS is handling three microsatellites. Maverick Space Systems is handling two CubeSats and three microsatellites. The largest payload on Transporter-7 is the Earth observation (EO) satellite IMECE, the highest resolution imaging satellite designed and built in Turkey with 0.99 m panchromatic and 5 m multispectral capabilities. Designed by TÜBİTAK Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBİTAK UZAY), it is one of several Turkish satellites on board.
