Match Rationale
Transporter-12 achieves exact SSO 525km orbit match with no altitude adjustment required. Rideshare cost of $68,400 is 28% below budget ceiling. Manifest close of June 14 aligns with projected FCC license approval timeline, providing a 12-day buffer. Highest confidence option given current mission schedule.

Dedicated launch offers scheduling flexibility but cost is 7% below budget ceiling with limited margin. Manifest close requires regulatory clearance 3 weeks earlier than projected — elevated risk given current FCC timeline.

Cost Efficiency100%
Timeline Fit38%
Lowest cost option by significant margin. Orbit insertion at 510km requires client-side altitude adjustment post-deployment. Launch window is 20 days past client deadline — only viable if timeline slips. ITAR export authorization adds 6–8 weeks to regulatory path.
