Private equity firm buys Exolaunch
Posted: Sat, Jun 20, 2026, 10:16 AM ET (1416 GMT)
Exolaunch, a company that has arranged the launches of hundreds of satellites on rideshare missions, is being bought by a private equity company. EQT announced Thursday it will acquire Exolaunch for an undisclosed sum. Exolaunch arranges launches of satellites as rideshare payloads, particularly on SpaceX's Transporter and Bandwagon missions, and also develops satellite deployment systems. Exolaunch says the deal will give it resources to scale up, including acquiring dedicated launch capacity. The company announced last month it purchased two Falcon 9 launches for dedicated rideshare missions, and is looking at similar opportunities with other launch operators.
