TBD June, 2027
Falcon 9 Block 5 | COSI (Compton Spectrometer and Imager)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD August, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Wide-field gamma-ray telescope designed to study energetic phenomena in the Milky Way and beyond, including the creation and destruction of matter and antimatter and the final stages of the lives of stars. The mission is a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory, the University of California, San Diego, the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and Northrop Grumman.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | NEO Surveyor
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD September, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is designed to help advance planetary defense efforts to discover and characterize most of the potentially hazardous asteroids and comets that come within 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit. These are collectively known as near-earth objects, or NEOs. NEO Surveyor consists of a single scientific instrument: a 50 centimeter (nearly 20 inch) diameter telescope that operates in two heat-sensing infrared wavelengths. It will be capable of detecting both bright and dark asteroids, which are the most difficult type to find.
