ION SCV-007, part of D-Orbit's fleet of orbital transfer vehicles carrying rideshare satellites to their individually assigned orbits. D-Orbit's ION vehicles have become a routine fixture of the rideshare launch industry, letting satellite operators skip the compromise of accepting whatever orbit a primary payload happened to be heading toward.
