Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | Glonass-K1 No. 16 (Kosmos 2557)

Progress Rocket Space Center | Russia
Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
July 7, 2022, 9:18 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

Glonass-K are the third generation of satellite design 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 is unpressurized and weighs 935 kg, and has an operational lifetime of 10 years.

Black Brant IX | SISTINE

Magellan Aerospace Corporation | Canada
Arnhem Space Centre
July 6, 2022, 1:54 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars (SISTINE) is a payload from the University of Colorado. Its objective is to study how light from stars affects the atmospheres of the planets around them, including the gases thought to be signs of life. For this flight, it will measure the ultraviolet light output from α Centauri A and B, two stars of the three-star α Centauri system that are the closest stars to our Sun.

LauncherOne | Straight Up

Virgin Orbit | United States of America
Air launch to orbit
July 2, 2022, 6:53 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

Launch contracted by the U.S. Space Force for the Rocket Systems Launch Program (RSLP), with payloads provided by the DoD Space Test Program (STP) as part of the Space Force’s STP-28A mission. It will carry seven satellites from multiple government agencies that are experiments intended to demonstrate novel modular satellite bus, space domain awareness, and adaptive radio frequency technologies. The target orbit is approximately 500 km above the Earth’s surface at 45 degrees inclination.

Electron | CAPSTONE

Rocket Lab | United States of America
Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand
June 28, 2022, 9:55 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

CAPSTONE (Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) is a 12-U cubesat mission to test operations in near rectiliniar halo orbit around the Moon, which is to be used for the Lunar Gateway space station. Mission will verify the near rectilinear halo orbit characteristics, spacecraft-to-spacecraft navigation services in that orbit, and provide valuable experience of small sat launch to the Moon.
