Vulcan VC4L | Dream Chaser CRS 2 Flight 1
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Astra 1P/SES-24
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ASTRA 1P, a classic wide-beam satellite, will support SES’s prime TV neighbourhood and enable content owners, private and public broadcasters across Germany, France and Spain to continue broadcasting satellite TV channels in the highest-picture quality in the most cost-efficient manner. It will be based on the full electric and powerful Spacebus NEO platform developed by Thales Alenia Space and already flight proven in orbit.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dragon CRS-2 SpX-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
31st commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.
Low Earth OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Galileo L13 (FOC FM26 & FM28)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system. Originally planned for launch on Soyuz-ST and then Ariane 6 but both were unavailable. Galileo provides Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.
Medium Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Atlantic OceanFalcon 9 Block 5 | BlueBird Block 1
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Hera
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Hera is a space mission in development at the European Space Agency in its Space Safety program. Its primary objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid in a colliding trajectory with Earth. It will measure the size and the morphology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid, which will allow measuring the efficiency of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also analyze the expanding debris cloud caused by the impact.
Asteroid
Falcon Heavy | Europa Clipper
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
October 10, 2024
Status: To Be Confirmed
Mission:
Europa Clipper is the first dedicated mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. Mission is developed by NASA and comprises of an orbiter spacecraft, which, while in orbit around Jupiter, will perform numerous flybys over Europa. Europa Clipper payload suit included high-resolution cameras and spectrometers for imaging Europa's surface and thin atmosphere, an ice-penetrating radar to search for subsurface water, and a magnetometer and gravity measurements to measure the moon's magnetic field and unlock clues about its ocean and deep interior.
