Dedicated SmallSat Rideshare mission to Sun-synchronous orbit, designated Transporter-6. Vigoride-5 carries Caltech's Space Solar Power Project (SSPD-1) as a hosted payload.[1] Orbiter SN1 carried TRL11's SAVER, Beyond Burials' Shooting Star Memorial and a payload from Logitech Mevo as hosted payloads.[2] Orbiter SN1 failed shortly after deployment.[3] The ION-SCV deployers carry Cryptosat's Crypto-2, IAC's DRAGO-2, Genergo's Genergo-2, and an undisclosed payload as hosted payloads.[4] Albania-1 and Albania-2, the first Albanian satellites, were launched on this flight. EWS RROCI failed to deploy from the Falcon 9 second stage and reentered the atmosphere on the day of launch.[5] This was not a SpaceX failure as brokered dispensers and deployers are used on Transporter missions.[6]
