Long March 6A | SpaceSail Polar Group #13
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation | ChinaTaiyuan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China
July 4, 2026, 9:30 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
18 Low Earth Orbit communication satellites with Ku, Q and V band payloads for the G60 constellation operated by Shanghai Spacesail Technologies with funding backed by the Shanghai local government. Initial constellation will consist of 1296 satellites by 2027 with long term plans to expand it to 12000 satellites.
Polar Orbit
Pegasus XL | Swift Boost Mission
Orbital Sciences Corporation | United States of AmericaAir launch to orbit
July 3, 2026, 8:36 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Contracted by NASA under the Small Business Innovation Research Phase 3 contract, Katalyst Space Technologies' LINK servicing spacecraft will rendezvous and attach to NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to re-boost its orbit. This aims to demonstrate a key capability for the future of space exploration and extending the Swift mission’s science lifetime in gamma ray astronomy.
Low Earth Orbit
Atlas V 551 | Amazon Leo (LA-08)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
July 2, 2026, 4:30 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude. 29 satellites are carried on this launch.

Long March 4B | Haiyang 2E
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation | ChinaJiuquan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China
July 1, 2026, 11:46 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Haiyang 2E (Chinese: "Ocean"), abbreviated HY-2E, is a marine remote sensing satellite of China. The HY-2 series' primary objective is to measure ocean dynamic and regional environmental trends in the microwave spectral range, plus measurements of parameters such as marine wind vector, marine surface heat and Sea Surface Temperature (SST). These ocean dynamics real-time data aid aero-marine forecasts for the prevention of, and relief in the event of, natural disasters. Instruments carried include: * Microwave Radiometer Imager (MWRI) * Radar Altimeter (RA) * Ku-band Rotational Fan-beam Scatterometer (SCAT)
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Sirius SXM-11
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
June 29, 2026, 2:25 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
SXM-11 is the 12th high-powered, digital, audio radio satellite built by Lanteris Space (ex-Maxar, Space System/Loral) for SiriusXM. The SXM-11 satellite will be based on the proven IM-1300 (ex-LS-1300)-class platform and built at the company’s manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, California. SXM-11 has a large, mesh, unfurlable reflector almost 10 meters in diameter that allows SiriusXM programming to reach its radios, including those in moving vehicles.

Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Note: Mission profile and payload details are TBD. Demonstration mission for SpaceX’s Project Starfall, which aims to mass-produce reentry capsules designed to autonomously transport valuable customer experiments and other payloads safely back from space to Earth, including for in-orbit manufacturing. Starfall is a cylindrical shaped capsule approximately 0.75 meters tall with a diameter of 3.1 meters, weighing approximately 2100 kilograms, and capable of carrying 1000 kilograms of payload. It is designed to be carried on Starship flights.
