Falcon 9 Block 5 | TSIS-2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor 2 (TSIS-2) is a satellite designed by NASA to measure the Sun's energy input to Earth. TSIS-2 comprises two instruments, the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM), and the spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). TIM measures total brightness and SIM measures spectral irradiance over a wavelength range that includes 96% of the energy in the solar spectrum. Both instruments are similar to those used for the TSIS-1 mission onboard the International Space Station.

LVM-3 | Chandrayaan-4 Second Launch
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chandrayaan-4 is a planned lunar sample-return mission of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and will be the fourth mission of its Chandrayaan programme. The mission consist of five modules, namely the DM (Descender Module), AM (Ascender Module), TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module). The planned mission life is 1 lunar day and the landing site will be near the Lunar South Pole. The second launch will lift the TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module) to orbit.
Lunar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JPSS 4 (Joint Polar Satellite System spacecraft No. 4)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The JPSS constellation of satellites collects global multi-spectral radiometry and other specialized meteorologic, oceanographic, and solar-geophysical data via remote sensing of land, sea, and atmospheric properties. These data support NOAA’s mission for continuous observation of Earth’s environment to understand and predict changes in weather, climate, oceans, and coasts to support the nation’s economy and protect lives and property. NASA uses the instruments aboard the JPSS satellites to continue decades of Earth science research for the betterment of humanity. JPSS-4 carries the NASA Earth Venture mission Libera, an instrument to improve our understanding of trends in Earth’s energy imbalance and our changing climate.
