Atlas V 551 | Project Kuiper (Atlas V #3)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD December, 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.
Low Earth Orbit
Proton-M/Blok DM-03 | Elektro-L No.5
Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
TBD December, 2025
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
Falcon 9 Block 5 | CAS500-2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2025
Ariane 64 | ViaSat-3 Asia-Pacific
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 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.

Epsilon S | DESTINY+
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency | JapanUchinoura Space Center, Japan
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
DESTINY+ (Demonstration and Experiment of Space Technology for INterplanetary voYage with Phaethon fLyby and dUst Science) is a planned asteroid exploration mission to 3200 Phaethon, the parent body of the Geminids meteor shower. It will demonstrate further improvements of low cost solar electric propulsion in deep space and innovative light-weight solar array panel technology. The spacecraft will carry 3 science instruments: * DESTINY Dust Analyzer (DDA) * Telescopic Camera for Phaethon (TCAP) * Multiband Camera for Phaethon (MCAP)
Asteroid
Vega-C | PLATiNO 1
Avio S.p.A | ItalyGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2025
Electron | STP-S30
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Island, Virginia, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
STP-S30 is a complex mission that will deliver research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit for the DoD and contribute to future space systems development. The projected primary payload, DISKSat, will demonstrate sustained very low earth orbit (VLEO) flight and test a unique, 1-meter diameter, disk-shaped satellite bus that is designed to increase on-orbit persistence.
