Falcon 9 Block 5 | Astra 1P/SES-24
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ASTRA 1P, a classic wide-beam satellite, will support SES’s prime TV neighbourhood and enable content owners, private and public broadcasters across Germany, France and Spain to continue broadcasting satellite TV channels in the highest-picture quality in the most cost-efficient manner. It will be based on the full electric and powerful Spacebus NEO platform developed by Thales Alenia Space and already flight proven in orbit.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Galileo L13 (FOC FM26 & FM28)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system. Originally planned for launch on Soyuz-ST and then Ariane 6 but both were unavailable. Galileo provides Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.
Medium Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Atlantic OceanFalcon 9 Block 5 | Hera
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Hera is a space mission in development at the European Space Agency in its Space Safety program. Its primary objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid in a colliding trajectory with Earth. It will measure the size and the morphology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid, which will allow measuring the efficiency of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also analyze the expanding debris cloud caused by the impact.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 4
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is a Crew Dragon flight for a private company Axiom Space. The mission will carry a professionally trained commander alongside three private astronauts to and from the International Space Station. This crew will stay aboard space station for at least eight days.
Low Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 1Falcon 9 Block 5 | 425 Project Flight 3
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD November, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Note: Name of payload is provisional. Third launch of an ultimately 5 reconnaissance satellites for the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), with 1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite on this launch. They will be launched to low Earth orbit between 600 and 700 km by 2025, enabling South Korea’s military to observe the nuclear-armed neighbor’s key military facilities every two hours with 30-50 centimeters resolution imagery, according to a 2019 report produced by the Korea Institute of S&T Evaluation and Planning. The project is lead by the Korean Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), with input from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), Hanwha Systems and Thales Alenia Space.
