    Spaceflight Industries provides bulk SmallSat rideshare services on whatever launcher is available. For this mission they bought the entire rocket and will be flying at least 70 satellites.

    Two non-tug free-flying dispensers on this mission.

            So far all the satellites have phoned home, so we'll probably see more of these bulk launch missions.
