Atlas V 551 | AEHF-6
United Launch Alliance | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
March 26, 2020, 8:18 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Communications
This is the sixth and final satellite in the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) system, which is a series of communications satellites operated by the United States Air Force Space Command. It provides global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms.

Long March 2C | Yaogan-30-06
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation | CHNXichang Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China
March 24, 2020, 3:40 a.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Government/Top Secret
The Yaogan 30-01-01 to 30-01-03 (Remote Sensing Satellite-30-01-01 to 30-01-03) satellites, were launched by CZ-2C rocket from China's Xichang space center on 29 September 2017. The purpose is not confirmed, although the news reports hint towards a SIGINT mission, especially to detect ships by their radio emissions. They are also known as CX 5 by the manufacturer. The satellites are spaced by 120° in their orbit.
Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | OneWeb 3
Russian Space Forces | RUSBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
March 21, 2020, 5:06 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Communications
A batch of 34 satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, which is intended to provide global Interned broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites (of which 60 are spares), around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit. Eventually it can be expanded to include extra 1260 satellites, for a total of 1908.

Russian Space Forces | RUSPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
March 16, 2020, 6:28 p.m.
Status: Success
Mission: Navigation
Glonass-M, also known as Uragan-M, are the second generation of Uragan satellite design used for GLONASS satellite navigation system. GLONASS is a Russian space-based navigation system comparable to the similar GPS and Galileo systems. This generation improves on accuracy, power consumption and design life. Each satellite weighs 1415 kg, is equipped with 12 L-band antennas, and has an operational lifetime of 7 years.
