The Spartan is a 6U NanoSat on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, carrying seven payloads in one bus.
SpaceX launched its Transporter 2 mission from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The EnduroSat software-defined NanoSat 6U arrives in orbit with the same mission.
This is the first of nine joint EnduroSat missions that will simplify the deployment of commercial sensors, and validate next-generation technology in space. Spartan, carrying seven loads. It demonstrates the capabilities of a software-defined architecture to give customers easy access to space data.
It was SpaceX’s second commissioned shared flight and brought 88 spacecraft into solar synchronous orbit (SSO) at an altitude of about 525 km.
Raycho Raychev, Founder and CEO of EnduroSat, said: “We are excited to see the innovation and great work our partners and customers will be doing in orbit, thanks to Spartan. We believe the EnduroSat co-satellite service is a paradigm shift that removes all the hassle of getting sensors in orbit. Give us what you want to fly and in a few months you’ll be running sensors in space and connecting data to Earth.”
