What is a rideshare launch?

A rideshare launch is a mission where multiple small satellites share a single rocket, each paying for their share of the payload capacity. It is significantly cheaper than a dedicated launch for CubeSats and small satellites under 500kg.

How much does a CubeSat launch cost?

CubeSat launch prices range from $3,000 for a 1U on a rideshare mission to $15,000+ for a 6U. Prices depend on orbit, rocket, lead time, and form factor. Use NewSpace Market to compare current market rates.

What is the difference between SSO and LEO rideshare?

SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit) provides consistent Earth imaging conditions ideal for remote sensing. LEO rideshare is broader and includes ISS-altitude missions. Most CubeSat missions target SSO between 500–600km altitude.

How do I book a launch slot on NewSpace Market?

Browse available launch windows, select a window matching your orbit and schedule, then contact the service provider directly or submit a lead form on their service offer page. NewSpace Market connects you with verified launch providers.

What CubeSat sizes are supported on rideshare launches?

Most rideshare providers support 1U (100x100x113mm, 1.33kg), 2U, 3U, 6U, 12U, and 16U CubeSats, as well as custom SmallSat dispensers up to 500kg. Check each service offer for specific mass limits.

How far in advance should I book a launch slot?

Lead times vary by provider: rideshare slots on SpaceX Transporter missions typically require 6–12 months, while some smaller providers can accommodate payloads in 3–4 months. NewSpace Market shows real-time lead time per service offer.
