Falcon 9 Block 5 | BlueBird Block 2 #2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD January, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
AST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature 4 satellites.
Low Earth Orbit
LVM-3 | Gaganyaan-1
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD January, 2026
GSLV Mk II | IRNSS-1L (NVS-03)
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD January, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is a replacement satellite for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The constellation will provide India with an alternative to GPS and will be used for military and civilian use. Located at a geosynchronous orbit, the system will be operated by the Indian government.
Geostationary Transfer Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | GPS III SV09
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD January, 2026
Vulcan VC4S | USSF-87
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
USSF-87 will launch two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8 directly to a near-geosynchronous orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator. Data from the GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, further enabling space flight safety including satellite collision avoidance.
Geostationary Orbit
SLS Block 1 | Artemis II
National Aeronautics and Space Administration | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
February 07, 2026
Status: To Be Confirmed
Mission:
Artemis II is the first crewed mission as part of the Artemis program. Artemis II will send a crew of 4 - 3 Americans and 1 Canadian around the moon and return them back to Earth. The mission will test the core systems of NASA's Orion spacecraft including the critical life support system, among other systems which could not be tested during Artemis I due to the lack of crew onboard.
Lunar flyby
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Starlink Group 10-36
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
A batch of 29 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system. First Starlink launch to feature a Falcon 9 booster landing within The Bahamas waters operationally, after the trajectory was tested during launch of Starlink Group 10-12 in February 2025.

Proton-M/Blok DM-03 | Elektro-L No.5
Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Elektro-L is a series of meteorological satellites developed for the Russian Federal Space Agency by NPO Lavochkin. They are designed to capture real-time images of clouds and the Earth's underlying surface, heliogeophysical measurements, collection and translating hydrometeorological and service data.
Geostationary Orbit
Ariane 64 | Amazon Leo (LE-01)
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Amazon Leo, formerly known as 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. 32 satellites will be carried on this launch.
