WHO'S ONBOARD SXRS-5 (SPACEX TRANSPORTER-2)?
By Jodi Sorensen
MAY 11, 2021
[/font][/size][/color]

Earlier today, we announced details surrounding our upcoming SXRS-5 mission (denoting our 5th SpaceX rideshare launch), scheduled to launch no earlier than June 2021. On this mission, we will debut TWO different orbital transfer vehicles for the first time, including the industry's first-ever electric propulsion vehicle, Sherpa-LTE. (More about the Sherpa product line here.)
We're secured 3 ports on the mission to support 36 spacecraft — comprised of 6 microsatellites, 29 cubesats and one hosted payload — from 14 organizations across 7 countries. To say handling the launch services and mission management is complex for a mission this size is an understatement, but it's truly what we love to do.
So, who's onboard SXRS-5? Over the next several months we'll be taking even a deeper dive into many of these ground-breaking organizations and their missions, but here's a quick look:
Aerospacelab's Arthur: Aerospacelab's Risk Reduction Flight mission objective is to put into service a high resolution optical payload, gain flight heritage for the in-house developed equipment, and verify the capability to maneuver the spacecraft thanks to the Micro Propulsion System from ExoTrail.

SPACEFLIGHT INC.'S NEXT-GEN SHERPA OTV PROGRAM SHOWCASES INNOVATIVE MODULAR DESIGN OF ITS FLIGHT-PROVEN SUBSYSTEMS
By Jodi Sorensen
JUNE 7, 2021
Debuting two OTVs on SpaceX's Transporter-2, the company will demonstrate maximum flexibility and rapid scalability with plug-and-play subsystems for propulsion, command and control, avionics, and more
SEATTLE – June 7, 2021 — Spaceflight Inc., the leading global launch services provider, will debut newly developed technical innovations utilized for its next-generation Sherpa program, enabling small satellite transportation throughout cislunar space in a way that has never been accomplished before. Intentionally architected with modular plug-and-play subsystems, Spaceflight's next-gen Sherpa orbital transfer vehicle (OTV) program offers customers flexibility and customization, including multiple types of propulsion for last-mile delivery, flight-proven avionics and separation sequencers, rich deployment telemetry and imaging systems, direct space-to-ground networks, and more. Based on a standardized 24" ESPA port, the Sherpa OTVs offer a reconfigurable 300 kilogram payload capacity and are sized to launch on most rockets.

The team preps Spaceflight's two OTVs for flight on SpaceX's Transporter-2 mission (SXRS-5)

Спойлер

The modular design enables Spaceflight to quickly customize the OTVs with different propulsion systems and subsystems to deliver highly varied capabilities to meet customers' unique needs for orbital deployment. In its simplest form, Spaceflight's OTV is a free-flying rideshare deployer; in its most advanced state, it's an interplanetary transport vehicle. Each Sherpa can be exactly tailored to the demands of a given mission, customer, or application.
"With the launch of Sherpa-FX2 and Sherpa-LTE1 on the upcoming SpaceX Transporter-2 mission, we are harnessing the power of our modular design and preparing for future launches with multiple Sherpa OTVs," said Philip Bracken, vice president of engineering at Spaceflight. "Much like with LEGOs, we can easily build different variations of Sherpa vehicles for flight in a matter of months, as well as adjust to last-minute manifest changes without impacting the rest of the mission. This is an unprecedented capability in the space industry, and we are excited to offer this service to our customers."
The company will be flying three variations of Sherpa OTVs this year — a free flyer (Sherpa-FX), one with electric propulsion by Apollo Fusion (Sherpa-LTE), and another with chemical propulsion from Benchmark Space Systems (Sherpa-LTC). "These propulsion systems can quickly be integrated to accommodate specific mission goals which is a paradigm shift for in-space transportation," adds Bracken.
"It's not an overstatement to say that the propulsive Sherpa fundamentally changes the smallsat market," said Mike Cassidy co-founder of Apollo Fusion. "Spaceflight's next-gen Sherpa OTVs combined with Apollo Fusion's propulsion can now take spacecraft to any orbit — from low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, geostationary orbit, lunar or beyond. It's a game-changer for smallsats that used to be confined to the standard rideshare orbits; now they're free to chart their own destiny."
In addition to the propulsion options, the unique modular structure also enables the company to add a customized command-and-control system, built with flight-proven components from Astro Digital. Similar in shape and size to a payload, the command subsystem can be easily integrated to maneuver the chemical and electric propulsion Sherpa OTVs.
Spaceflight will also be utilizing its flight-proven R2A avionics system, built entirely in-house. The system will give customers unprecedented access to the most accurate and timely data about the health and location of their spacecraft. Spaceflight designed its new avionics system based on learnings from past missions to provide higher fidelity data utilizing direct space-to-ground networks. One of the most flexible and lowest-cost sequencers on the market, R2A will give Spaceflight customers access to individual spacecraft separation and deployment processes, thereby reducing risk and providing greater mission assurance.

...29 малых спутников из США, Европы и Южной Америки на борту запланированной миссии SpaceX Falcon 9. на июнь 2021 года. Обладая общей массой около одной тонны, Exolaunch удваивает свою массу по сравнению с предыдущим рейдшером SpaceX для малых спутников, что делает «Fingerspitzengefühl» его крупнейшей миссией с точки зрения массы полезной нагрузки на сегодняшний день.

rideshare кластер Exolaunch включает в себя полезную нагрузку передовые технологии для Интернета вещей, наблюдения Земли и научных приложений, а также спутники от международных клиентов, таких как Loft Orbital, NanoAvionics, ICEYE и TU Berlin.

Для этой миссии мы используем весь спектр нашей линейки продуктов: четыре адаптера EXOport, десять CarboNIX, системы разделения и два развертывания куба-спутника EXOpod. Мы проработали всю емкость SpaceX ESPA Ring для развертывания одной тонны полезных нагрузок клиентов, используя только технологию Exolaunch.

«Fingerspitzengefühl» на Transporter-2 символизирует обширный опыт Exolaunch в успешном выводе спутников наших клиентов на орбиту», - сказала Медведева. «Это также продолжение имен отдельных миссий, которые начинались с «Zeitgeist», буквально «Дух времени», предыдущего совместного запуска Exolaunch на борту Falcon 9 SpaceX в январе 2021 года».

Примечание: 'Fingerspitzengefühl' - немецкий термин, буквально «ощущение кончиков пальцев»; имеется в виду интуитивное чутье / инстинкт.

SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, June 29 for launch of Transporter-2, SpaceX's second dedicated SmallSat Rideshare Program mission, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 58-minute launch window opens at 2:56 p.m. EDT, or 18:56 UTC, and there is a backup opportunity available on Wednesday, June 30 with the same 58-minute window.

Falcon 9's first stage booster previously supported launch of GPS Space Vehicle 03, Turksat 5A, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. One half of Falcon 9's fairing previously supported Transporter-1 and a Starlink mission, and the other previously flew on SAOCOM 1B and a Starlink mission.

On board this launch are 85 commercial and government spacecraft (including CubeSats, microsats, and orbital transfer vehicles) and 3 Starlink satellites. While there are fewer spacecraft on board compared to Transporter-1, this mission is actually launching more mass to orbit for SpaceX's customers.

There is simply no way that humanity can become a spacefaring civilization without major regulatory reform. The current regulatory system is broken.

Ракета SpaceX успешно вывела на орбиту 88 спутников, в том числе четыре военных
       Вашингтон. 1 июля. ИНТЕРФАКС - Ракета-носитель Falcon 9 в среду успешно вывела на орбиту 88 спутников, в том числе четыре аппарата в интересах военного ведомства США, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.
      "Вывод всех спутников подтвержден", - говорится в сообщении.
       Запуск в рамках миссии Transporter-2 был осуществлен в 15:31 по времени Восточного побережья США (22:31 мск) с 40-го стартового комплекса на космодроме на мысе Канаверал (штат Флорида).
       Ракета вывела на орбиту 85 коммерческих и государственных малых космических аппаратов, в том числе четыре для Управления космических разработок Пентагона, а также еще три спутника Starlink для пополнения создаваемой компанией SpaceX системы глобальной сети интернет-покрытия.
       Первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя SpaceX, которая использовалась для запусков уже в восьмой раз, совершила управляемую вертикальную посадку на космодроме на мысе Канаверал.

Перевод неправильный. В оригинале more customer mass, так как в прошлый раз было 10 Старлинков (2.6т из 3.57т, т.е. на клиентов выходит меньше тонны), а в этот раз их было только три, т.е. 780кг, соответственно масса клиентов выходит больше полутора тонн.

SpaceTrack is starting to get some of the Transporter-2 satellites identified, including the 26 of the SpaceBEEs.  No ID yet for the NASA-Ames PACE-1 despite its RFID tag and laser retroreflectors which were meant to make it easy to ID...
.
Of 83 objects cataloged from Transporter 2 so far (6 more sats still aboard ION), 33 are now identified, so 40% at 11 days after launch. These mass payload deployments are hard to sort out.

ASTRA'S APOLLO FUSION THRUSTER IGNITES ON FIRST ATTEMPT IN ORBIT WITH SPACEFLIGHT

(Rendering by Spaceflight Inc.)
Ignition demonstrates reliable electric propulsion (EP) system

Alameda, CA. August 24, 2021. Astra Space, Inc. ("Astra") (Nasdaq: ASTR), today announced the successful orbital ignition of its Apollo Fusion thruster on board the Spaceflight Sherpa-LTE1 orbital transfer vehicle (OTV). The Sherpa OTV launched June 30, 2021 from SpaceX's Transporter-2 mission from Cape Canaveral, Florida. After successfully deploying all rideshare payloads, Spaceflight commissioned the Apollo Fusion thruster, representing Astra's first attempt at firing the thruster in orbit.

"The telemetry from the on-orbit firing looked excellent and closely matched our ground test results," said Mike Cassidy, Vice President of Product Management at Astra. "We expect to deliver thrusters for additional satellites over the next quarter and these on-orbit test results provide further validation for several programs for which we are supplying propulsion systems."

"This represents the industry's first fully functional electric propulsion OTV," said Philip Bracken, VP of Engineering at Spaceflight. "Our next-gen Sherpa OTVs were intentionally designed for maximum modularity, flexibility and rapid development including offering several innovative propulsion solutions. The successful commissioning and ignition of Apollo Fusion's system paves the way for expanding orbital destinations for smallsats and is paramount in achieving our goal of getting our customers' payloads to space whenever and wherever they want."

Astra acquired Apollo Fusion in July 2021 to leverage Apollo Fusion's shared focus on designing and manufacturing products at scale that can reach destinations beyond low Earth orbit.

"We're incredibly proud of everyone who built this EP system," said Benjamin Lyon, Chief Engineer at Astra. "This is an important milestone on our journey to provide rapid, low-cost access to space."...
