Long March 5B | Xuntian Telescope
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation | ChinaWenchang Space Launch Site, People's Republic of China
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Xuntian, formerly known as the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), is a Chinese space telescope designed to perform high-resolution, large-area, multi-band imaging and slit-less spectroscopy surveys of the sky at ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths of 255 – 1000 nm. The survey camera is slated to cover approximately 17500 square degrees of the sky in various bands, reaching maximum magnitudes of about 26. Xuntian will carry a survey camera, a tera-hertz receiver, a multi-channel imager, an integral field spectrograph, and a cool planet imaging coronagraph. Xuntian will be launched to a Low Earth Orbit that will be co-orbiting with the Tiangong space station/Chinese Space Station, which will allow for periodic docking with the station for regular maintenance by astronauts.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute | South KoreaNaro Space Center, South Korea
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
NeonSat-7 to 11 are part of the South Korean government's Earth observation micro-satellite constellation NeonSat (New-space Earth Observation Satellite). The NeonSat constellation is the first satellite system developed by the government using a mass-production approach for precise monitoring of the Korean Peninsula.
Sun-Synchronous OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-32
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-32 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating in the Ku and Ka frequency bands, JSAT-32 will provide coverage over Japan and its surrounding seas, with newly added spot beams for mobility applications. JSAT-32 will serve as a future replacement for existing SKY Perfect JSAT satellites that provide communication and distribution services in Japan.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Chinggis Sat
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chinggis Sat is a Mongolian national geostationary orbit telecommunications satellite for the Mongolia Ministry of Digital Development and Communications. Thales Alenia Space will be responsible for construction of the high-performance Ku-Band satellite. Once launched, the satellite will make high-speed internet available throughout Mongolia, including to those in rural areas and under-served nomadic communities, enabling easier and wider access to services such as tele-medicine, e-learning, e-government services and supporting the growth of high value add sectors of the economy. It will be positioned at the 113.6° E orbital slot and will be based on the space-proven, cutting-edge SpaceBus 4000 satellite bus.

LVM-3 | Chandrayaan-4 First Launch
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chandrayaan-4 is a planned lunar sample-return mission of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and will be the fourth mission of its Chandrayaan programme. The mission consist of five modules, namely the DM (Descender Module), AM (Ascender Module), TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module). The planned mission life is 1 lunar day and the landing site will be near the Lunar South Pole. The first launch will lift the DM (Descender Module) and AM (Ascender Module) to orbit.
