About
Momentus Space invites customers to secure hosted payload flight opportunities on the Vigoride-8 Orbital Service Vehicle (OSV)—targeted for launch aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-18 mission in Q4 2026. Vigoride-8 will deliver a suite of payloads to low Earth orbit and support a range of mission profiles, including technology demonstrations, remote sensing experiments, RF and communications payloads, materials science, and in-space manufacturing investigations.
The Vigoride OSV offers a robust hosting platform with up to 3 kW peak power, high-throughput data links, attitude control, and thermal management, enabling customers to focus on their mission objectives rather than spacecraft development. Payloads can be mounted externally or internally, with flexible electrical and data interfaces tailored to specific experiment needs.
Momentus’ integrated mission service includes launch integration, operations, telemetry support, and mission management, providing a turnkey path from payload concept to orbit. Interested partners are encouraged to engage early to define accommodation needs, interface requirements, and mission timelines.
Reserve your slot on Vigoride-8 today to secure a flight heritage opportunity in late 2026.
