The Weiss School Makes History
Read MoreSpaceX successfully launched Spaceflight (SFI) SSO-A: SmallSat Express mission to low Earth orbit on Monday, December 3, 2018 at 1:32 PM from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Carrying 64 payloads, this mission represents the largest single rideshare mission from a U.S.-based launch vehicle to date. The mission was also the first time SpaceX launched the same booster a third time. Falcon 9's first stage for the Spaceflight SSO-A: SmallSat Express mission previously supported the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 mission in May 2018 and the Merah Putih mission in August 2018. Following stage separation, SpaceX landed Falcon 9's first stage on the "Just Read the Instructions" droneship, approximately 150 miles off shore in the Pacific Ocean. The WeissSat-1 deployed nominally from the SFI Free Flyer 4 hours and 39 minutes after launch and the first radio contact with the CubeSat was made 30 minutes later.
