    Four Bandwagon missions are currently scheduled. According to SpaceX’s rideshare website, those missions are scheduled for April and November 2024 and February and May 2025.

    So that’s even fewer payloads for the dedicated smallsat launchers. Some of them have a decent backlog and/or are diversifying (Rocket Lab, Firefly, Relativity), but I don’t see how Astra and ABL could end up with viable rockets.
