Falcon 9 Block 5 | KPS-1
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD September, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
KPS-1 is South Korea's first navigation satellite, the 1st of 8 satellites planned for the Korean Positioning System (KPS). This will be one of 5 satellites to be deployed into an Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO), with the other 3 in geostationary orbits. The KPS is scheduled to be completed by 2035.
Geosynchronous Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-31 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating both in Ka and Ku frequency bands, the JSAT-31 High Throughput Satellite will offer high speed broadband services over Japan, South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific islands. JSAT-31 will have the largest capacity in the history of SKY Perfect JSAT satellites. It will rely on Space INSPIRE, a highly flexible and fully software-defined solution that offers instant in-orbit adjustment to broadband connectivity demand, while maximizing the effective use of the satellite resources. SKY Perfect JSAT will leverage the satellite’s extreme flexibility to offer enhanced communications services all along JSAT-31’s lifespan in orbit.
