"SpaceX's Inaugural Bandwagon Rideshare Mission Set for Launch"

SpaceX is set to launch the Bandwagon-1 rideshare mission carrying 11 spacecraft for six customers, including a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite for South Korea, to a 45.4 degree inclination orbit. The Falcon 9 booster used for this flight is B1073-14, and the mission will mark the 35th Falcon mission of the year for SpaceX. The Bandwagon-1 mission will provide another option for customers wanting to launch small satellites to a mid-inclination orbit, and it is the first of four Bandwagon flights shown so far.
