Aerospacelab has successfully doubled its number of satellites in orbit by launching four new satellites. The launch took place at Vandenberg Space Force Station in California, USA, at 2:05 pm PT on March 4th aboard a Falcon 9 rocket as part of SpaceX's Transporter-10 mission.

Shortly after takeoff from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E), the satellites were confirmed to be in good condition and functioning normally, a crucial step for the company in broadening its capabilities and extending its range of satellite-based solutions, which now includes two new types of payloads.

Aerospacelab is recognized for its expertise in the design, manufacturing, and operation of small-scale satellites. This recent launch, the company's largest to date, not only marks a milestone in its growth but also highlights its dedication to innovation, speed, and expanding its reach globally.

Utilizing its own Versatile Satellite Platform (VSP) and in-house developed avionics subsystems, the company has added three Radio Frequency Sensing satellites named "Riri," "Fifi," and "Loulou" to its fleet. These satellites are set to enhance intelligence operations. Additionally, a Very High Resolution satellite named "Rose" has been deployed to capture detailed imagery of Earth's surface.

This significant achievement showcases Aerospacelab's strengths in vertical manufacturing integration and its ability to quickly develop and deploy new payload types for a wide variety of applications.

Benoit Deper, the CEO and founder of Aerospacelab, shared his thoughts on the successful launch, saying, "This launch not only furthers our company's operational history but also proves our capability in production as our team confirmed all systems were operational within four hours of launch. This step forward brings us closer to our goals for our satellite constellation and we are eager to leverage this new asset in our research and operations."
