Upcoming Arianespace Launches

TBD

Feb 2025

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

The CSO-3 (Composante Spatiale Optique-3 satellite is the third of three new-generation high-resolution optical imaging satellites for the French military, replacing the Helios 2 spy satellite series.

Last Update: NET February 25.
