Mission Details
Space Test Program 2 is a rideshare managed by the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC), launching from LC-39A, KSC. Most of the spacecraft will be delivered into low Earth orbit (LEO) in two deployment sequences separated by a second stage burn. These LEO payloads include the six Taiwan and United States owned COSMIC-2 microsatellites, the Planetary Society's LightSail-B demonstrator cubesat, and others. The third and final deployment will be the Air Force Research Lab's DSX spacecraft, which will be delivered to a medium Earth orbit (MEO). This mission will reuse the side cores from Arabsat 6A, which will return to LZ-1, and LZ-2. The new center core will boost back to land on OCISLY less than 40 km from the launch site.
