Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat | Glonass-K1 No. 18
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Glonass-K are the third generation of satellite design for GLONASS satellite navigation system. GLONASS is a Russian space-based navigation system comparable to the similar GPS and Galileo systems. This generation improves on accuracy, power consumption and design life. Each satellite is unpressurized and weighs 935 kg, and has an operational lifetime of 10 years.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dragon CRS-2 SpX-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
31st commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.
Low Earth Orbit
Soyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Russian Obzor-R satellite is a planned X-band radar earth observation satellite designed by TsSKB-Progress. In 2012, the development of the Arkon-2M radar satellite was stopped and instead the development of the Obzor-R was initiated. The satellite features the BRLK X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar as the imaging instrument with a ground resolution of 500 m.

Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Proba-3 (Project for On-Board Autonomy 3) is the first close formation flying mission for the European Space Agency (ESA). It consists of two independent, three-axis stabilised spacecraft flying 150 meters from one another with the ability to accurately control the attitude and separation of the two craft. Such formation flying will be maintained for 6 hours, creating ″artificial solar eclipse″ for the satellite below. The spacecraft pair will fly a highly elliptical orbit divided between periods of accurate formation flying around apogee, when payload operations will be possible, and periods of free flight.
