Vulcan | USSF-87
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
USSF-87 will launch two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8 directly to a near-geosynchronous orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator. Data from the GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, further enabling space flight safety including satellite collision avoidance.
Geostationary Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer D
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Tranche 1 Transport Layer D is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 5
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is a Crew Dragon flight for a private company Axiom Space. The mission will carry a professionally trained commander alongside three private astronauts to and from the International Space Station for a month.
Low Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 2
Soyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaPlesetsk Cosmodrome, Russian Federation
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Russian Obzor-R satellite is a planned X-band radar earth observation satellite designed by TsSKB-Progress. In 2012, the development of the Arkon-2M radar satellite was stopped and instead the development of the Obzor-R was initiated. The satellite features the BRLK X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar as the imaging instrument with a ground resolution of 500 m.

TBD December, 2025
Vulcan VC6L | Project Kuiper (KV-01)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, 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. 45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.
