The payload from KOREA ADD, Arrow Science and Technology, Exolaunch, HawkEye 360, Maverick Space Systems, Sidus Space, Tomorrow Companies Inc., True Anomaly, and Think Orbital were part of this mission.

The flight was carried successfully due to the supportive weather conditions, allowing the rocket maker to launch the Falcon 9 without any delays.

On the other hand, the first and seconds stage conducted their objectives. Speaking of which, this SpaceX Bandwagon-2 counts as a record 21 liftoff for booster, which landed on Landing Zone 4 at vandenberg Space Force Base after hot-staging and return.
