Description: Teams encapsulate NASA's R5-S7 (Realizing Rapid, Reduced-cost high-Risk Research project Spacecraft 7) CubeSat inside a SpaceX Falcon 9 payload fairing along with several other satellites at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, as part of the company's Transporter-15 mission. The latest in a series of spacecraft, R5-S7 will explore ways to get multiple technology prototypes into low Earth orbit rapidly and at a low cost, accelerating the demonstration of these technologies in orbit and allowing engineers and scientists to more quickly prove them and make them available to NASA missions and other users. Launch of SpaceX's Transporter-15 mission, carrying R5-S7, is scheduled for 10:18 a.m. PST Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 4 East.
