SpaceX's Transporter-1 mission is set to lift off on Saturday, January 23rd at 9:40am EST. [credit: Trevor Mahlmann ] As early as Saturday morning, SpaceX will launch the first dedicated mission of a rideshare program it announced in late 2019. As part of this plan, the company sought to bundle dozens of small satellites together for regular launches on its workhorse Falcon 9 rocket. There seems to have been a fair amount of interest in the program, which offered a very low price of $15,000 per kilogram delivered to a Sun-synchronous orbit.
