Low Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 1
Vega-C | Biomass
Avio S.p.A | ItalyGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
April 29, 2025, 3:15 a.m.
Status: Go for Launch
Mission:
Biomass is an European Space Agency mission designed to measure the density of carbon stored in the world's forests. The spacecraft, built by Airbus Defence and Space, features the first civilian P-band synthetic aperture radar as well as a 12m-diameter deployable reflector from L3Harris made of over 900 km of gold-coated molybdenum 25µm wire. With a minimum operational lifetime of 5 years in its 666km 6am/6pm sun-synchronous orbit, the global coverage achieved every 9 months allows to precisely monitor the evolution of forests over time.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Firefly Alpha | FLTA006 (Message in a Booster)
Firefly Aerospace | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD April, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Sixth flight of the Firefly Alpha small satellite launcher, launching the demonstration mission for Lockheed Martin's new LM400 satellite bus, which will carry a communications payload. The satellite bus is customizable to support different missions, including remote sensing, communications, imagery and radar Earth observations. It can also support different kinds of orbits and launch configurations.
