More about today's mission
It's not just NAOS heading up—Falcon 9 will carry eight satellites in total.
There's Dhruva Space's LEAP-1 with AI tech, Planet's Pelican-3 and Pelican-4 for Earth imaging, Capella's Acadia-6 using radar, and Pixxel's FFLY series with hyperspectral cameras.
After liftoff, the rocket's first stage will return to Landing Zone-4 (its 27th landing!), marking SpaceX's 104th Falcon 9 mission this year and its 522nd overall since starting back in 2010.
