Mission
Bandwagon 5 (Dedicated Mid-Inclination Rideshare)
Mission Type
Dedicated Rideshare
Destination
Low Earth Orbit
Dedicated rideshare flight to a mid-inclination orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers. This launch also carries the second demonstration mission for SpaceX’s Project Starfall, which aims to mass-produce reentry capsules designed to autonomously transport valuable customer experiments and other payloads safely back from space to Earth, including for in-orbit manufacturing. Starfall is a cylindrical shaped capsule approximately 0.75 meters tall with a diameter of 3.1 meters, weighing approximately 2100 kilograms, and capable of carrying 1000 kilograms of payload. It is designed to be carried on Starship flights.

Upcoming Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launches
TBD
Oct 2026
Amazon Leo, formerly known as 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.
Last Update: NET October 29.
TBD
Nov 2026
This is the 25th flight of the Orbital ATK's uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus and its 24th flight to the International Space Station under the Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
Last Update: NET late November.
First flight of the Dream Chaser Spaceplane, on a free-flying mission in Low Earth Orbit.
Last Update: NET late 2026 with ISS docking cancelled.
TBD
2026
Impulse Space's Mars Lander is designed to support research and development needed for human exploration of Mars.
Updated: Aug 23, 2:30am UTC
Payload consists of a single 30 kg NASA payload to be delivered to a 500 km orbit with a 41 degrees inclination.
Last Update: Launch vehicle choice now uncertain with Relativity Space planning to retire Terran-1 immediately; may switch to Terran-R but launch would then be NET 2026.
Classified payload for the US Space Force
Last Update: Not planned within the 2024 NSSL mission manifest.
TBD
2026
Inmarsat-7 is the seventh generation of satellites for the London-based global mobile satellite communications operator Inmarsat. The three satellites of the series - GX-7, 8 & 9 - will have an improved fully reconfigurable Ka-band payload for Inmarsat's Global Xpress services. They are optimized for real-time mobility and feature thousands of dynamically-formed beams that direct capacity with laser-like precision over high-demand areas, to provide HTS (High Throughput) broadband connectivity for the mobility market. The satellites will be based on Airbus’ new standard and fully reconfigurable satellite product line OneSat. Fully reconfigurable and featuring on board processing and active antennas, the three Ka-band spacecraft will be able to adjust their coverage, capacity and frequency.
Last Update: NET Q4 2026.
Amazon Leo, formerly known as 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.

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. 48 satellites will be carried on this New Glenn launch.
Last Update: Reverted back to NET 2026 due to New Glenn GS1 booster static fire explosion. The payload was not loaded during the static fire.

CHORUS is MDA's next generation Earth observation constellation, consisting of 2 radar satellites (C-band SAR and X-band SAR), in a 53.5 degree 600 km altitude LEO, with the X-band trailing the C-band by 60 minutes. A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS will bring together diverse and unique imagery and data sources and provide a new level of near real-time insight and innovative Earth observation services. Operating in a unique mid-inclination orbit, CHORUS will be able to image day or night, regardless of weather conditions, with daily access of up to 95% of the coverage area. From an industry-leading 700km-wide imaging swath down to sub-metre high resolution, CHORUS will provide the most extensive and unrivalled Earth observation radar imaging capacity available on the market in a single mission.
Last Update: NET late 2026.
