Falcon 9 rideshare integration
Space BD books and prepares small satellites for SpaceX Transporter rideshare flights. In 2025 it supported 10 satellites across three missions.
Why it matters
SpaceX rideshares come with detailed technical paperwork and export-control rules. A Japanese agent that handles them makes those flights easier for small satellite teams in Japan.
How the technology works
Space BD secures rideshare slots, coordinates with the launch provider on its technical requirements and documents, integrates each satellite to its specifications, and handles export-control compliance for international shipping.
