When the rocket launches, it will carry the Spaceflight SSO-A: SmallSat Express into space.

The SSO-A:SmallSat Express is being called the largest single ride share mission from a U.S. Based launch vehicle. It will have 15 microsats and 49 CubeSats from commercial and government groups and will deliver them to a low-Earth orbit.
