The First Customer Link mission for SpinLaunch’s Meridian constellation will validate end-to-end system performance ahead of initial customer deployments and broader service rollout.
SpinLaunch has completed critical antenna and payload testing milestones for the Meridian constellation.
SpinLaunch is preparing for First Customer Link for the Meridian constellation, scheduled to launch aboard SpaceX Transporter-18 in October 2026.
Alpha and Meridian are exploring the demand for OTVs and multi-orbit missions for future missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
As part of the PDR, Alpha is studying how its propulsion system could create a cheaper OTV with Meridian by reducing the overall weight necessary to reach further orbits.
