SpaceX launched 119 payloads to Sun-synchronous orbit from California for the Transporter 16 mission. Being launched as part of SpaceX’s SmallSat Rideshare Program, Transporter 16 and all prior Transporter missions have provided satellite operators with reliable access to space at a cost cheaper than that for a dedicated launch.
Launch occurred at 4:02 AM PDT (11:02 AM UTC) on Monday, March 30. Falcon 9 launched from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
