Associated space launch

Eighth flight of the X-37B program. The X-37B is a dynamic and responsive spacecraft responsible for conducting a range of tests and experiments that expedite the development of critical next-generation technologies and operational concepts for reusable space capabilities. The OTV-8 mission in Low Earth Orbit includes operational demonstrations and experiments of next-generation technologies, including laser communications and the highest performing strategic grade quantum inertial sensor ever tested in space. Mission partners include the Air Force Research Lab and the Defense Innovation Unit, respectively.

LIMASAT was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Falcon 9 Block 5 | OTV-8 (X-37B) (USSF-36)’, on board a Falcon 9 space rocket.

The launch took place on Aug. 22, 2025, 3:50 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A.
