Vega | THEOS-2, TRITON & others

Avio S.p.A | ITA
Kourou, French Guiana
Oct. 5, 2023, 1:36 a.m.
Status: Go for Launch
Mission:

THEOS-2 is Thailand’s first Earth observation satellite. Built by Airbus Defense and Space and based on the Astrobus-S platform, it is designed for optical measurements with a ground resolution of approximately 1 meter. TRITON or FORMOSAT-7R is an additional satellite by NSPO added to the joint Taiwanese-US FORMOSAT 7 / COSMIC-2 constellation for collecting atmospheric data for weather prediction and for ionosphere, climate and gravity research. Its GNSS Reflectometry payload can be used to calculate the wind speed over sea surfaces. PROBA-V-CC (Project for On-Board Autonomy - Vegetation - Companion CubeSat) is a mission that will fly a scaled-down version of the vegetation-monitoring instrument aboard the Earth-observing PROBA-V to conduct combined experimental observations with its predecessor.

Falcon Heavy | Psyche

SpaceX | USA
Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA
Oct. 5, 2023, 2:38 p.m.
Status: Go for Launch
Mission:

Psyche is a NASA interplanetary mission to visit the main belt asteroid of the same name, 16 Psyche. Spacecraft will take 4 years and one Mars flyby to reach the asteroid, which is of particular interest due to being comprised mostly of iron and nickel. Psyche is theorized to be a remnant of an early planet's core, and may offer insights into how solar system formed and evolved. The mission is led by Arizona State University, with NASA JPL being responsible for mission management and operations.

Miura 1 | SN1 Test Flight

Payload Aerospace S.L. | ESP
El Arenosillo Test Centre
TBD October, 2023
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:

The first flight of PLD Space's MIURA 1 SN1 technology demonstrator allows the collection of as much data as possible for the validation and design of the technology to be transferred and integrated into MIURA 5. In addition, this first suborbital flight allows ZARM Research Institution to study microgravity conditions, gathering information necessary for scientific experiments in future suborbital flights. Finally, a PLD Space team shall pick up the rocket in the Atlantic Ocean once splashdown is completed.

Atlas V 501 | Project Kuiper Protoflight Mission (Atlas V #1)

United Launch Alliance | USA
Cape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2023
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:

This launch will launch 2 KuiperSat demonstration satellites to 500 km altitude, 30 degree inclination orbit. They were previously scheduled on the 1st Vulcan launch. 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.

Gaganyaan Abort Test Booster | TV-D1

Indian Space Research Organization | IND
Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD October, 2023
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:

TV-D1, the first development flight from the Gaganyaan program, will be launched up until 11 km from sea level, where an in-flight abort scenario will be initiated, and the capsule should flight until 15–16 km. The mission should test the separation from the rocket and its trajectory until a safe distance and parachute deployment
