Ariane 6 | COMSATBw 1B (SATCOMBw Stufe 3-1)
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
First 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.

Vega-C | SBG-TIR
Avio S.p.A | ItalyGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Surface Biology and Geology - Thermal Infrared (SBG-TIR) Earth Observation mission aims to provide radiometric and multispectral measurements of terrestrial and aquatic emissions for climate, ecological, and geological analyses, and to support practical applications such as food security and water management. The thermal infrared (TIR) radiometer is provided by NASA, while the VIS-NIR camera is provided by ASI. Their combination ensures high-quality observations, enabling the investigation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, monitoring of water resources, and phenomena related to high temperatures such as wildfires and volcanic eruptions.
