Rideshare launch and integration (LaunchLock)
SEOPS buys space on shared rocket flights, mostly SpaceX Transporter missions, resells slots to satellite operators, and handles the paperwork, mounting hardware and integration so the customer's satellite is ready to fly.
Why it matters
Small satellite teams rarely have the staff to deal directly with a launch provider. Brokers like SEOPS bundle many small customers into one booking and absorb the integration work, which is how most small satellites reach orbit today.
How the technology works
Customers can lock a slot up to three years ahead at a fixed price under LaunchLock. SEOPS supplies separation systems such as its Keystone system for payloads up to 850 kg, runs cleanroom integration, and offers two months of post-deployment tracking with each launch contract to help operators identify their satellite.
