Spaceflight Prepares Historic Launch of More Than 70 Spacecraft Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9

Seattle-based aerospace company Spaceflight aims to send 71 satellites into sun-synchronous low earth orbit aboard a SpaceX-built Falcon 9 rocket as part of a rideshare mission later this year.

The mission, dubbed SSO-A: SmallSat Express, will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base and carry a payload of 15 microsatellites and 56 CubeSats developed by multiple domestic and international commercial and government customers, Spaceflight said Monday.
