Rideshare Demand Drives Dedicated Falcon 9 Purchases
Exolaunch and SEOPS have each purchased Falcon 9 launches from SpaceX for dedicated rideshare missions, citing high demand for access to low Earth orbit. The companies, which have previously worked with SpaceX on rideshare missions, will use their experience to offer reliable and scalable launch services. Exolaunch’s Exo-1 and Exo-2 missions are scheduled for late 2027 and 2028, while SEOPS’ Waymaker-1 mission is planned for the third quarter of 2028. This development was first reported by SpaceNews.
