Confirmed capacity. Trusted vehicle. Major flexibility.
Waymaker-1 offers confirmed LEO rideshare capacity through a structured, interface-defined mission architecture. Plan against real availability, engage early technical review, and secure predictable manifest positioning.
Waymaker provides access to confirmed LEO rideshare capacity through a familiar, interface-defined mission architecture.
Customers engage a structured launch construct with clear interface classes, early compatibility screening, and a predictable manifesting path.

1
Defined Access to Confirmed Capacity
Engage real launch inventory — not an open queue.
- Dedicated Falcon 9 mission targeting Q3 2028
- Structured interface classes (CT, XL, Full, Half, CubeSat)
- Early reservation and allocation model
- Clear path from intake to manifest
2
Familiar Model, Defined Structure
A straightforward rideshare model with clearer decision points.
- Select interface class at reservation
- Early mass and volume screening
- Defined deliverable milestones
- Transparent path to contract and manifest
3
More Flexibility Where It Matters
Waymaker supports a broader range of mission needs within a disciplined architecture.
- Multiple interface classes: CT, XL, Full, Half, CubeSat
- Cake Topper configurable as single, dual, or tri payload (subject to compatibility)
- Bridged XL configurations for extended vertical envelope (technical review required)
- Evaluation of moderate non-standard requirements
- Integration support options based on customer preference

How the program works.
1
Select Configuration & Submit Intake
Customers begin by selecting their preferred mission configuration using the Waymaker reservation form.
- Payload interface class (CT, XL, Full, Half, or CubeSat)
- Separation system and interface size
- Estimated payload mass
- Propulsion and fueling information
- Preferred mission timing
Once submitted, the intake is reviewed by SEOPS to confirm compatibility with the Waymaker mission architecture.
2
Compatibility Screening & Final Pricing
SEOPS reviews the payload against the SEOPS User Guide (UG) and applicable launch vehicle flow-down requirements.
- Mass and volume compatibility
- Propulsion and fueling requirements
- Separation interface compatibility
- Regulatory and export considerations
Standard payloads typically move quickly through this step.
- Alternate interface options
- Configuration adjustments
- Additional integration services
Following screening, SEOPS confirms final pricing and availability and proceeds to contract execution.
3
Manifest Assignment & Launch Execution
Once the Launch Services Agreement is executed, the payload is assigned a position within the Waymaker stack.
- Stack-level configuration
- Integration planning and documentation
- Mission management (SEOPS-managed or customer-led)
- Launch campaign execution
Launch operations are typically conducted from Vandenberg Space Force Base for SSO missions.
