Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
A pair of Russian optical Earth observation satellites built by the Progress Rocket Space Centre for obtaining stereo images of the Earth's surface, with maximum resolution of 1.2 m in panchromatic mode and a swath width of 32 km.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Soyuz 2.1a | Soyuz MS-27
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Soyuz MS-27 will carry two cosmonauts and one astronaut to the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The crew consists of Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov, Alexey Zubritsky, and NASA astronaut Jonathan "Jonny" Kim.
Low Earth Orbit
Vulcan VC6L | Project Kuiper (Vulcan #1)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Project Kuiper is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude. 45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.
Low Earth OrbitSoyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
TBD March, 2025
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.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
HASTE | DART AE
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
TBD March, 2025
Soyuz 2.1a | Bion-M No. 2
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Bion-M is the next generation of Russian biological research satellites. While retaining the Vostok/Zenit-derived reentry module of the earlier Bion, the propulsion module has been replace by a Yantar type module, which provides maneuvering capabilities and longer mission support. The mission duration has been increased to up to 6 months by using solar cells for energy generation. The weight of scientific equipment has been increased by 100 kilograms.
Low Earth Orbit
Vulcan VC4S | USSF-106
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
USSF-106 is a mission for the United States Space Force. The launch will deploy various payloads directly into geosynchronous orbit, including the NTS-3 (Navigation Technology Satellite 3), a demonstration navigation satellite testing a new digital signal generator that can be reprogrammed on-orbit to broadcast new signals, improve performance by avoiding and defeating interference, and adding signatures for detecting spoofing attacks.
Geosynchronous Orbit
Atlas V 551 | ViaSat-3 EMEA
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The ViaSat-3 is a series of three Ka-band satellites is expected to provide vastly superior capabilities in terms of service speed and flexibility for a satellite platform. Each ViaSat-3 class satellite is expected to deliver more than 1-Terabit per second of network capacity, and to leverage high levels of flexibility to dynamically direct capacity to where customers are located.
