510 kg 		SSO NASA / USGS Success[9]
Eighth Landsat geological survey satellite in orbit. Additionally launched the U.S. Space Force (USSF) Landsat-9 ESPA Flight System (L9EFS) which delivered several additional cubesats to orbit as a result of a cooperative engagement between NASA and U.S. Space Force to increase access to space for small satellite systems.[10]

The primary payload is the STPSat-6 satellite carrying SABRS-3, NASA's LCRD, and seven Defense Department Space Experiments Review Board space weather and situational awareness payloads. Alongside STPSat-6 was an integrated propulsive EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (IP-ESPA) holding up to six payloads.[14] The STP-3 mission also debuted three engineering features designed to reduce risk and accumulate flight experience before use on Vulcan Centaur: an Out-of-Autoclave (OoA) payload fairings, an in-flight power system and GPS enhanced navigation.[15] The launch was delayed multiple times, first in January due to the launch readiness of the STPSat-6 satellite,[16] in June due to some ringing of the RL10-C's new carbon nozzle extension observed during the SBIRS GEO-5 mission,[17] and in November due to a space vehicle processing issue.[18]
