SpaceX readies Transporter-16 to loft 119 payloads from California

SpaceX is set to launch the Transporter-16 rideshare from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on March 30, lofting 119 payloads to low Earth orbit; the mission will deploy payloads about 55 minutes after liftoff, and the Falcon 9’s first stage is expected to land on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You'—the booster’s 12th launch/landing. Transporter-16 is the 16th Transporter mission, part of SpaceX’s rideshare program that, with Bandwagon, has lofted over 1,600 payloads to orbit.
