MAR 30202611:02:00 UTC

Dedicated SmallSat rideshare mission to sun-synchronous orbit, carrying 119 payloads.

Gravitas, built by K2 Space and funded by the U.S. Space Force, was the largest payload on the flight - a 2-tonne demonstration platform with a 40-metre solar array wingspan generating 20 kilowatts of power. The first of K2 Space's Mega-class satellites, it hosted 12 customer modules including Department of Defense payloads, and was designed to test technologies for large-scale in-orbit computing infrastructure.
