Momentus to deploy DoD and commercial payloads on rideshare with SpaceX

Momentus (MNTS) announced it has signed a contract with SpaceX to join an upcoming Transporter rideshare mission launching as soon as early 2026. Momentus plans to use this port for the launch of its flight-proven Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle or OSV to transport a mix of payloads from the U.S. Department of Defense or DoD, and commercial customers to Low-Earth Orbit orLEO. For this mission, Momentus has additional capacity to support customers planning LEO deployment and hosted payload missions in early 2026. Government and commercial customers interested in utilizing the ability of the Vigoride vehicle to cost-effectively launch and deliver microsatellites up to 200 kg and cubesats, provide average power up to 1kW, and deploy or operate hosted payloads in orbits above 500 km and below the International Space Station are encouraged to contact Momentus while booking opportunities remain open.
