Falcon 9 Block 5 | Lunar Trailblazer & Nova-C IM-2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD February, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is the second mission of Nova-C lunar lander developed and built by Intuitive Machines. This time it carries a NASA payload called PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1), which is to be the first demonstration of in-situ resource utilization on the Moon. PRIME-1 consists of two instruments: TRIDENT drill and Msolo mass spectrometer.
Lunar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | SPHEREx & PUNCH
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD February, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
SPHEREx is a planned two-year astrophysics mission to survey the sky in the near-infrared light, which, though not visible to the human eye, serves as a powerful tool for answering cosmic questions involving the birth of the universe, and the subsequent development of galaxies. It also will search for water and organic molecules – essentials for life as we know it – in regions where stars are born from gas and dust, known as stellar nurseries, as well as disks around stars where new planets could be forming. Astronomers will use the mission to gather data on more than 300 million galaxies, as well as more than 100 million stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. NASA’s Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission will share a ride to space with SPHEREx. It consists of four suitcase-sized satellites, which will focus on the Sun’s outer atmosphere (the corona) and how it generates the solar wind. The spacecraft also will track coronal mass ejections – large eruptions of solar material that can drive large space weather events near Earth – to better understand their evolution and develop new techniques for predicting such eruptions.

Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | AIST-2T 01 & 02
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
A pair of Russian optical Earth observation satellites built by the Progress Rocket Space Centre for obtaining stereo images of the Earth's surface, with maximum resolution of 1.2 m in panchromatic mode and a swath width of 32 km.
Sun-Synchronous OrbitSoyuz 2.1a | Bion-M No. 2
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Bion-M is the next generation of Russian biological research satellites. While retaining the Vostok/Zenit-derived reentry module of the earlier Bion, the propulsion module has been replace by a Yantar type module, which provides maneuvering capabilities and longer mission support. The mission duration has been increased to up to 6 months by using solar cells for energy generation. The weight of scientific equipment has been increased by 100 kilograms.
