Ariane 6 | COMSATBw 1B (SATCOMBw Stufe 3-1)
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
First of two satellites of Germany's next generation of secure military satellite system. For the Bundeswehr, Airbus is the prime contractor for the design, integration, test and in orbit delivery of two new military GEO telecommunications satellites which are the successor communications satellites to COMSATBw 1 and 2.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit
Ariane 64 | GovSat-2
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
GovSat-2 is the second satellite for GovSat, the public-private partnership between SES and the Luxembourg government. The satellite is designed to address the needs of defense users at the highest Security and Service Assurance Level, adding new ultra-high frequency (UHF) channels in the X- and military Ka-bands, and will include other security features such as dedicated hardening, an advanced anti-jamming system, and embedded geo-location. GovSat-2 will be positioned over the European satellite arc, joining GovSat-1 in augmenting reliable connectivity services for government customers over the region. The satellite will be built by Thales Alenia Space on its Spacebus 4000B2 platform.

Vega-C | TRUTHS
Avio S.p.A | ItalyGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2030
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
TRUTHS (Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio-Studies) is a a ‘standards laboratory in space’, setting the ‘gold standard’ reference for climate measurements. Carrying a cryogenic solar absolute radiometer and a hyperspectral imaging spectrometer as well as a novel onboard calibration system, TRUTHS is designed to make continuous measurements of incoming solar radiation and reflected radiation to evaluate Earth’s energy-in to energy-out ratio.

ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2031
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Atmospheric Remote sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large survey mission (ARIEL) is an ESA telescope. During its 4-year mission, ARIEL will observe 1000 planets orbiting distant stars and make the first large-scale survey of the chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres. For a selected number of exoplanets, ARIEL will also perform a deep survey of their cloud systems and study seasonal and daily atmospheric variations.
