To ensure precise and secure deployments, Exolaunch will utilize its renowned CarboNIX separation rings and EXOpod Nova deployers. These cutting-edge systems, known for their performance and reliability, will safely deploy over 1,500 kg of satellite mass into orbit. With integration activities already successfully completed at Exolaunch's Berlin headquarters, the team is now conducting the final launch site integration in Vandenberg.

“We are thrilled to have successfully integrated our customers' satellites for the Transporter- 12 mission,” said Robert W. Sproles, chief executive officer at Exolaunch. “Transporter-11 was a landmark mission for us, and as we look ahead to Transporter-12, we're excited to keep the momentum going. We deeply appreciate the trust our customers place in us and extend our thanks to SpaceX for their outstanding support. Our long-standing partnership with SpaceX has been a cornerstone of Exolaunch's growth, and it's an honor to be part of every Transporter mission. We eagerly anticipate the launch of these satellites and the impact they'll have on expanding access to space.”
