Vulcan | SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer B
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Tranche 1 Tracking Layer B is one of five missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Tracking Layer constellation, which will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.
Polar Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Inmarsat-7 F1 (GX-7)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Inmarsat-7 is the seventh generation of satellites for the London-based global mobile satellite communications operator Inmarsat. The three satellites of the series - GX-7, 8 & 9 - will have an improved fully reconfigurable Ka-band payload for Inmarsat's Global Xpress services. They are optimized for real-time mobility and feature thousands of dynamically-formed beams that direct capacity with laser-like precision over high-demand areas, to provide HTS (High Throughput) broadband connectivity for the mobility market. The satellites will be based on Airbus’ new standard and fully reconfigurable satellite product line OneSat. Fully reconfigurable and featuring on board processing and active antennas, the three Ka-band spacecraft will be able to adjust their coverage, capacity and frequency.

Firefly Alpha Block 2 | ConnectedCosmos Launch 3
Firefly Aerospace | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD February, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Third of at least four missions carrying 6 satellites for Open Cosmos' secure LEO broadband constellation, designed to provide independent and resilient connectivity infrastructure for Europe and the world using high-priority Ka-band spectrum filings by the Principality of Liechtenstein.
Polar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | SICRAL 3A
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD February, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
SICRAL 3A and 3B are next generation communication satellites for the Italian Ministry of Defence, providing UHF and SHF communications services in replacement of SICRAL 2 and adding Ka-band capacities. One of the satellites will provide UHF and SHF band communications, while the other carries a Ka-band payload. These 2 geostationary satellites will provide confidential strategic and tactical communications, to support defense missions both in Italy and abroad, as well as supporting security, public rescue and civil protection services. The new SICRAL 3 system is designed to meet Italian defense communications and interoperability requirements.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 2 Transport Layer G
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD February, 2027
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Trinity
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD February, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Trinity is a three-spacecraft mission from US satellite manufacturer K2 Space, with each satellite deploying to a different orbital regime to prove out K2 Space’s multi-orbit satellite platform. 2 satellites will be dropped off in LEO, 1 remaining in LEO for a period before raising itself to MEO, while the other will immediately begin climbing to MEO and will aim to complete orbit raising within 90 days. The 3rd satellite will be launched directly into a geostationary transfer orbit.
