SEOPS Selects SpaceX’s Falcon 9 for Launch of a Dedicated Direct-to-GTO Rideshare Mission
Today, SEOPS announced it has signed a contract with SpaceX for a Falcon 9 mission destined for a geostationary transfer orbit in late 2028 from Florida. This is a direct response to the soaring rideshare demand for this orbit from SEOPS’s government and commercial customers.
Additionally, SEOPS has secured rideshare capacity on upcoming missions with SpaceX through 2028. As demand continues to increase, SEOPS acknowledges that funding the capacity – today – is essential for customer success.
