2026-03-30 AAC Clyde Space AB (publ)
AAC Clyde Space technology has built seven satellites scheduled to launch on the Transporter-16 rideshare mission, including its own VIREON-1 and VIREON-2 Earth Observation satellites.
In addition to the VIREON satellites, integrated via launch integrator Exolaunch, several spacecraft built for customers on AAC Clyde Space's EPIC satellite platforms will also launch on Transporter-16. The EPIC platform family supports a wide range of missions, including Earth observation and communications applications.
AAC Clyde Space technology will also fly onboard several other spacecraft on the launch through satellite subsystems supplied to customers. These include the new CubeCAT laser communication terminals designed to enable high-speed optical data downlinks from orbit.
"Transporter-16 illustrates the breadth of what AAC Clyde Space delivers to the space industry," says Luis Gomes, CEO of AAC Clyde Space. "On a single launch we have satellites we have built, missions we support for customers, and advanced subsystems flying on other spacecraft. That combination reflects our position across the space value chain."
The SpaceX Rideshare program has become an important access route to orbit for small satellite missions serving commercial, institutional and research customers worldwide. AAC Clyde Space technology has flown on every Transporter rideshare mission to date.
The Transporter-16 mission is scheduled to launch on Monday 30 March.
