Early in the morning of Nov. 2 , 2025, SpaceX’s Falcon 9<\/a> rocket roared off its pad at the Space Launch Complex<\/a> in Cape Canaveral<\/a>, carrying the dedicated rideshare mission known as Bandwagon-4 <\/a>into orbit.<\/p>\n

Aboard were 18 payloads, some of them experimental technologies and others satellites, all heading for low Earth orbit.<\/a> And, like most SpaceX missions, this one featured a rocket landing, which is highlighted above.<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/p>\n

Bandwagon is one of SpaceX’s two satellite-rideshare programs, along with Transporter. As its name suggests, Bandwagon-4 was the fourth mission in the program, and according to the manifest<\/a>, it successfully delivered 18 payloads to their target orbits.<\/p>\n

Rideshare programs make access to space more affordable to various stakeholders that may not be able to afford a dedicated launch, such as universities and start-ups.<\/p>\n

These groups can add their experiments and technology to the Falcon 9 rocket \u2014 payloads such as Vast Space’s Haven Demo, a pathfinder for Haven-1, a private space station<\/a>. The successful launch of Bandwagon-4 marks a key step in making space more accessible as humanity continues to look to the stars.<\/p>\n

And rocket landings, which SpaceX has made routine over the past decade or so, are amazing in their own right: They help decrease the costs of spaceflight and allow more rockets to get off the pad in a timely fashion.<\/p>\n
