The Italian firm D-Orbit’s ION Satellite Carrier orbital transfer and delivery vehicle has had a ride booked for it on the yet-to-fly Isar Aerospace rocket.  The launch is expected to take place in 2023 or 2024 with the spacecraft carrying several cubesats for delivery into their specific required orbits. The financial details of the launch order have not been revealed. Earlier in the month, D-Orbit reported that it was to receive US$2 million of funding from ESA to upgrade ION.

The launches will not begin until 2025.
