December 07, 2025
Electron | STP-S30
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
STP-S30 is a complex mission that will deliver research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit for the DoD and contribute to future space systems development. The projected primary payload, DISKSat, will demonstrate sustained very low earth orbit (VLEO) flight and test a unique, 1-meter diameter, disk-shaped satellite bus that is designed to increase on-orbit persistence.

Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
December 15, 2025
Status: To Be Confirmed
Mission:
AST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature a single satellite.

Atlas V 551 | Amazon Leo (LA-04)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Dec. 15, 2025, 8:52 a.m.
Status: Go for Launch
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.
