SpaceX Launch Schedule
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Chinggis Sat
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chinggis Sat is a Mongolian national geostationary orbit telecommunications satellite for the Mongolia Ministry of Digital Development and Communications. Thales Alenia Space will be responsible for construction of the high-performance Ku-Band satellite. Once launched, the satellite will make high-speed internet available throughout Mongolia, including to those in rural areas and under-served nomadic communities, enabling easier and wider access to services such as tele-medicine, e-learning, e-government services and supporting the growth of high value add sectors of the economy. It will be positioned at the 113.6° E orbital slot and will be based on the space-proven, cutting-edge SpaceBus 4000 satellite bus.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-32
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-32 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating in the Ku and Ka frequency bands, JSAT-32 will provide coverage over Japan and its surrounding seas, with newly added spot beams for mobility applications. JSAT-32 will serve as a future replacement for existing SKY Perfect JSAT satellites that provide communication and distribution services in Japan.

Falcon Heavy | Gateway PPE & HALO
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) are the foundational elements of NASA's lunar-orbiting space station "Gateway". The PPE is a 60-kilowatt class solar electric propulsion spacecraft that also will provide power, high-speed communications, attitude control and the capability to move the Gateway to different lunar orbits. The HALO is the pressurized living quarters where astronauts who visit the Gateway, often on their way to the Moon, will work. It will provide command and control and serve as the docking hub for the outpost. HALO will support science investigations, distribute power, provide communications for visiting vehicles and lunar surface expeditions, and supplement the life support systems aboard Orion, NASA’s spacecraft that will deliver Artemis astronauts to the Gateway.
Lunar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Thor 8
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Thor 8 is a multi-purpose communications satellite for Space Norway. The satellite will both replace older satellites being phased out in the coming years and provide increased capacity and service offerings that offers capacity for both data services and broadcasting, such as high power direct-to-home (DTH) television services, from the 1° West orbital position. It carries two dedicated payloads for broadcasting in Europe and the Nordics, as well as payloads for data services to commercial and governmental customers. With a launch mass of 4 metric tons, the satellite will be built on Thales Alenia Space’s Spacebus-4000B2 platform and will operate in the Ka and Ku frequency bands.
