The payload for this mission includes a cornucopia of small satellites from government and commercial entities, along with 10 of SpaceX's own Starlink broadband satellites.

SpaceX has not yet confirmed the official number of satellites in the ride-share payload.

There's been some last-minute shifting around after two DARPA satellites were accidentally damaged earlier this month at a processing facility.

We do expect that the ride-share payload is made up of dozens of satellites -- perhaps more than 90 -- including several from Nanoracks and more from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the US Department of Defense and many others.
