SpaceDev's Trailblazer microsatellite was selected to fly on a Falcon booster in the first Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) “Jumpstart” mission, intended to demonstrate rapid integration, test, and launch of a spacecraft. “Jumpstart” was a multi-pronged effort to fly responsive payloads on the SpaceX Falcon 1 Flight 003 mission, which launched in August 2008 from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The spacecraft was assembled and tested at SpaceDev's Poway, California facility.
