🌌 **Mission Name**: Falcon 9 Block 5 | Pandora / Twilight rideshare mission
🗓️ **Launch Date**: 2026-01-11T13:09:00Z
🚀 **Rocket**: Falcon 9
📖 **Details**: The Pandora small satellite was selected in 2021 as an inaugural mission in NASA’s Astrophysics Pioneers Program. It includes a 0.45-meter telescope that will improve our understanding of exoplanet atmospheres by disentangling exoplanet signals from their host stars, as well as studying host star variability with long-duration observations of 20 unique planets through visible-light photometry and near-infrared spectroscopy.
Also launching on this launch are ride-share payloads under the "Falcon 9 Twilight mission" manifested by Exolaunch, including satellites from Spire Global and Kepler Communications.
