Fresh off a record-shattering launch cadence in 2025, SpaceX is planning to fly its first rideshare mission of 2026 from Space Launch Complex-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on the central California coast. This rideshare will be the first of its kind for SpaceX, and not part of the Transporter or Bandwagon series.
