ION SCV-013, part of D-Orbit's fleet of orbital transfer vehicles carrying rideshare satellites to their individually assigned orbits, one of the company's most consistently flown mission types across the growing rideshare launch industry. 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.
