Space Launch Rug Pull?

SpaceX has stopped accepting new commercial launch bookings past late 2028 for both its Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) Transporter series and mid-inclination Bandwagon missions - presumably to shift focus onto it's internal launch needs re Starlink V3 and other programs.

"Transporter" are ride share missions supporting multiple small satellite customers to deliver multiple satellites into "Sun-Synchronous Orbits", aka LowEarth Orbits (LEO).

The latest Transporter mission on July 7 successfully delivered 81 customer payloads into low-Earth orbit (LEO).

"Bandwidth" is similar and delivers multiple satellites into mid-inclination orbits to ~ 550 to 605 km altitude and about 45-degree inclination. https://satnews.com/2026/07/20/spacex-limits-future-commercial-rideshare-bookings-past-2028-amid-severe-manifest-saturation/ #Space #SpaceX #Salletties #SSO_Orbits #Transporter #Bandwidth #LEO #Falcon9 #CubeSat #Launch_Manifest

I had fun at the #Hamvention conference last week. I was too busy at the AMSAT Education table to post, but I was showing off the CubeSat Simulator and talking satellites. 🛰️📡📻

This video of me is actually from two years ago ago, but I just found it 😁
