\"Exolaunch<\/p>\n

Exolaunch<\/strong>, a global leader in launch mission management, integration and satellite deployment technologies, announced they have signed a contract with SpaceX for two Falcon 9 launches, marking a major expansion of the company’s launch capabilities and establishing a new class of launch access for global satellite operators. The two Falcon 9 missions, Exo-1 and Exo-2, are scheduled to launch no earlier than late 2027 and 2028, respectively. These missions will facilitate constellation deployments, governmental programs and large-scale launch campaigns at a time of increasing launch demand across the global launch market.<\/p>\n

The missions will be flown with the company’s flight-proven deployment technologies, including EXOtube modular payload stacks, providing optimal satellite accommodation, launch vehicle utilization and launch campaign efficiency for constellations and rideshare customers. The modular architecture of the EXOtube incorporates Exolaunch’s flight-proven deployment technologies, including CarboNIX and CarboNIX NEO separation rings, Quadro four-point separation systems and standalone HDRM deployment solutions, all together suited for satellites from 20kg to 1,400kg and beyond. In addition, EXOtubes accommodate the full range of cubesats through Exolaunch’s lightweight EXOpod Air deployers as well as EXOpod Nova for high-mass, high-volume cubesat missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the first time, Exolaunch has procured dedicated launches from SpaceX to create new shared launch opportunities for the industry,\u201d said Jeanne Allarie<\/strong>, Chief Investor Relations Officer at Exolaunch<\/strong>. \u201cWith Exo-1 and Exo-2, our customers will have predictable and reliable launch opportunities enabled by Exolaunch and our ecosystem of flight-proven deployment technologies, including EXOtube. We thank SpaceX, our customers and the entire Exolaunch team for making it happen!\u201d<\/p>\n
