The STP-S30 mission is a U.S. Space Force initiative aimed at deploying research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit, contributing to the development of future space systems. The primary payload for this mission is DISKSat, a unique, disk-shaped satellite approximately 1 meter in diameter. DISKSat is designed to operate in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) and will test technologies intended to enhance on-orbit persistence.

The launch date was Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 5:03 AM (UTC).
