Falcon 9 Block 5 | OSAM-2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
OSAM-2 is a mission to demonstrate the ability of small spacecraft to manufacture and assemble spacecraft components in low-Earth orbit. Once it’s positioned in low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft will 3D-print two beams that extend 32 feet (10 meters) out from each side of the spacecraft. As manufacturing progresses, each beam will unfurl two solar arrays that generate as much as five times more power than traditional solar panels on spacecraft of similar size.
Low Earth OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Thuraya 4-NGS
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Thuraya 4-NGS is a communication satellite being built by Airbus Defense and Space for the UAE based Yahsat. Based on the all-electric Airbus Eurostar-Neo Platform, Thuraya 4-NGS will incorporate a large 12-meter L-band antenna and a payload with on-board processing providing advanced routing flexibility of up to 3200 channels with dynamic power allocation over a large number of spot beams.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Hakuto-R M2 “Resilience”
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD January, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Second mission of the Hakuto-R commercial lunar lander developed by private Japanese company ispace. The lander will carry a small rover developed by ispace to perform studies on the moon's surface. The rover is also expected to collect lunar regolith as part of a contract with NASA signed in 2020, in which companies will collect materials on the moon and then transfer ownership "in situ" to the agency.
