Isar Aerospace | GermanyAndøya Spaceport
TBD December, 2028
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for the Norwegian Space Agency’s Arctic Ocean Surveillance (AOS) program. AOS-Demo will be built by thr Norwegian engineering company Eidel to demonstrate maritime monitoring technologies. AOS-Precursor will be built by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace as the first operational satellite of the system to track maritime activities in the Arctic.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | KPS-1
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD September, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
KPS-1 is South Korea's first navigation satellite, the 1st of 8 satellites planned for the Korean Positioning System (KPS). This will be one of 5 satellites to be deployed into an Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO), with the other 3 in geostationary orbits. The KPS is scheduled to be completed by 2035.

Ariane 6 | COMSATBw 2B (SATCOMBw Stufe 3-2)
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Second of two satellites of Germany's next generation of secure military satellite system. For the Bundeswehr, Airbus is the prime contractor for the design, integration, test and in orbit delivery of two new military GEO telecommunications satellites which are the successor communications satellites to COMSATBw 1 and 2.

Geostationary Transfer OrbitAriane 62 | ARIEL & Comet Interceptor
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Atmospheric Remote sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large survey mission (ARIEL) is an ESA telescope. During a 4-year mission, ARIEL will observe 1000 planets orbiting distant stars and make the first large-scale survey of the chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres. For a select number of exoplanets, ARIEL will also perform a deep survey of their cloud systems and study seasonal and daily atmospheric variations. ARIEL shares the ride with another ESA mission, Comet Interceptor. It consists of three spacecraft which will be positioned at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, where they will wait for a long-period comet or an interstellar object to come by. Once the desired target appears, the spacecraft will separate and perform a flyby of the target, compiling a detailed 3D profile of a comet.
