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.

Ariane 64 | IS-45
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD March, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Intelsat 45 is a small geostationary communications satellite that will provide Ku-band fixed-satellite services enabling Intelsat to provide specialized and efficient service to Media and Network customers. IS-45 weighs about 1 metric ton at launch and is designed and built by SWISSto12, based on the company’s innovative HummingSat platform. HummingSats are just over one cubic meter in volume, one-tenth the size of conventional satellites placed in geostationary orbit. SWISSto12 is developing the satellites in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its public-private-partnership program, benefiting from unique and patented 3D printing technologies.

TBD March, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Sentinel CO2M-B carries a near-infrared and shortwave-infrared spectrometer to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by human activity, providing the EU with a unique and independent source of information, to assess the effectiveness of policy measures, and to track their impact towards decarbonizing Europe and meeting national emission reduction targets.
