Rideshare Marketplace

Rideshare partners for your payload.

In the Carrier Space Rideshare Marketplace, satellite operators, research institutions and launch providers publish their payloads and find partners for a shared launch. Every listing states payload, target orbit and launch window; with a company account you can see who is behind it and get in touch directly. Posting listings in the marketplace is free of charge.

How the Rideshare Marketplace works

Publish a listing

You describe your payload with mass, dimensions, payload type and interface, plus target orbit, altitude, inclination and the period in which you want to launch. The listing appears in the marketplace right away and stays visible until you pause or close it.

Find matching listings

The list can be filtered by orbit, altitude, payload, launch window and payload type. You see at a glance who wants to launch into the same orbit in the same period.

Get in touch directly

Using the messaging function, you write directly to the company behind a listing. How you work together and which provider you fly with is agreed between you.

Payloads and orbits in the marketplace

The marketplace lists CubeSats from 1U to 16U, microsatellites, hosted payloads and orbital transfer vehicles. Rideshares are sought into all common orbits: low Earth orbit (LEO) and sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) and geostationary orbit (GEO), as well as to the Moon and Mars. Sharing a rocket with others bundles payloads for the same target orbit and launch window and makes a suitable launch easier to find.

Frequently asked questions

Posting listings is free of charge.

Every company and institution with an account on Carrier Space, whether satellite operator, research institution or launch provider.

Signed-in companies see the name and can get in touch. Visitors without an account see listings without company names.

No. The marketplace is for finding partners. You request a launch from the provider through the missions on Carrier Space.

Until you pause, close or delete it yourself. There is no automatic expiry.
