Exolaunch to Deploy 45 Customer Satellites on Transporter-14
Represents Its Biggest Mission to Date
Exolaunch is set to deploy 45 customer satellites on the upcoming Transporter-14 rideshare mission with SpaceX aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, tentatively set for June 21. The mission highlights Exolaunch's role as a trusted partner for rideshare launches and represents unparalleled expertise and flight heritage.
"This milestone reflects not just the growth of Exolaunch, but also the expanding demand for global access to space."

The Transporter-14 mission represents a major milestone for Exolaunch as its largest mission to date, building on the company's track record of providing reliable and precise access to orbit for customers worldwide. Exolaunch's teams of experts will manage the deployment of numerous microsatellites, up to 250 kilograms (≈550 pounds) and CubeSats up to 16U in size, supporting 25 new and returning customers from the USA, UK, Lithuania, Finland, Belgium, Germany, Australia, Canada, South Korea, France, Japan, Spain, Norway, Italy, and Greece.
On this mission, Exolaunch will utilize its industry-leading, flight-proven deployment systems, including:
CarboNIX microsatellite separation rings in 8", 11", 15", and 24" sizes
EXOpod Nova advanced CubeSat deployers, supporting higher-mass and larger volume satellites with exceptional reliability
Quadro four-point separation systems, offering synchronized release and ultra-low tip-off rates for precision microsatellite deployments
"Transporter-14 marks a historic achievement for Exolaunch and our customers," said Robert Sproles, Chief Executive Officer at Exolaunch. "Our flight heritage, reliability, and hardware performance continue to set the standard in the rideshare industry. We are grateful to our customers for their trust and to SpaceX for being an outstanding partner as we continue to open space for all."
"This milestone reflects not just the growth of Exolaunch, but also the expanding demand for global access to space," said Jeanne Allarie, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Exolaunch. "Our unmatched success across these missions and the growing adoption of our Nova, CarboNIX, Quadro and Neo systems highlight the strength of our technology and services. We deeply appreciate our customers' and SpaceX's ongoing confidence in our team."
Exolaunch has manifested satellites on every Transporter mission since the program's inception in 2020. With Transporter-14, Exolaunch will celebrate its 37th mission overall, having deployed over 530 satellites across 36 previous missions on different global launch vehicles.
Impressive achievement by Exolaunch—their 37th mission and 530 satellites deployed across 36 flights definitely demonstrates their reliability. As satellite constellations grow and rideshare missions become more complex, robust observability and real-time diagnostics are critical—not just for launch success but for in-orbit performance.
This is exactly where platforms like Sift step in. With structured telemetry and CI/CD-style validation tailored for embedded systems, Sift provides the infrastructure that lets hardware teams catch issues early, debug faster, and ensure system resilience at scale. As we deploy more complex payloads, the ability to see inside every satellite post-launch becomes essential.
Excited to see how flight heritage and modern infrastructure can work hand-in-hand to shape the next generation of space missions. I’d love to discuss more if you’re interested in collaborating on your next article!
