Falcon 9 Block 5 | GSAT-20
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
GSAT-20 is an Indian geostationary Ka-band high-throughput communications satellite. GSAT 20 is reportedly built on the I-6K unified modular bus and features a Ka-band high-throughput communications payload with 70 Gbps throughput utilizing multiple spot beams providing broadband services across the Indian region. It will be the first fully Electric Propulsion/EP enabled satellite which can be five to six times more efficient than chemical-based propulsion. It will be the first ISRO made satellite to move from Geostationary transfer orbit to Geosynchronous orbit using Electric Propulsion.

Soyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
TBD June, 2024
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.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Polaris Dawn
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
First mission of the privately funded Polaris program. The goal of this mission, lasting up to five days in orbit, is to fly higher than previous Dragon missions, perform the first-ever commercial EVA with SpaceX-designed spacesuits, orbit through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt, conduct medical research, and test laser-based Starlink communications in space.
