Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2028
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-31 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating both in Ka and Ku frequency bands, the JSAT-31 High Throughput Satellite will offer high speed broadband services over Japan, South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific islands. JSAT-31 will have the largest capacity in the history of SKY Perfect JSAT satellites. It will rely on Space INSPIRE, a highly flexible and fully software-defined solution that offers instant in-orbit adjustment to broadband connectivity demand, while maximizing the effective use of the satellite resources. SKY Perfect JSAT will leverage the satellite’s extreme flexibility to offer enhanced communications services all along JSAT-31’s lifespan in orbit.

Geostationary Transfer Orbit
Soyuz 2.1b/Fregat-M | Luna 27
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
TBD December, 2028
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Luna 27 (also named Luna-Resurs 1) is a planned lunar lander mission by Roscosmos to send a lander to the South Pole–Aitken basin, an area on the far side of the Moon. The purpose is to prospect for minerals, volatiles (nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, methane and sulfur dioxide, and lunar water ice in permanently shadowed areas of the Moon and investigate the potential use of these natural lunar resources. On the long term, Russia considers building a crewed base on the Moon's far side that would bring scientific and commercial benefits. The lander will feature 15 science instruments that will analyse the regolith, plasma in the exosphere, dust, and seismic activity. The payload will include a sampling drill.
