Exolaunch contracts two dedicated Falcon 9 launches from SpaceX
70 FOMOExolaunch signed a contract with SpaceX for two Falcon 9 launches designated Exo-1 and Exo-2. The missions are planned for no earlier than late 2027 and 2028, respectively. Exolaunch will use its EXOtube modular payload stacks and established separation technologies to aggregate and deploy satellite payloads. The arrangement represents the company's first dedicated launch procurement from SpaceX to create shared launch opportunities for customers.
Why it matters
Securing dedicated launch capacity gives Exolaunch more control over scheduling and mission architecture. It could strengthen its position with constellation operators that need predictable deployment windows rather than depending entirely on third-party rideshare manifests.
