🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Second dedicated launch for the European Space Agency's IRIDE Earth observation constellation.

Updated: Jan 3, 8:05pm UTC

Payload consists of two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system.

Last Update: NET December 2025

🎯 Geostationary Transfer Orbit

The ViaSat-3 is a series of three Ka-band satellites is expected to provide vastly superior capabilities in terms of service speed and flexibility for a satellite platform. Each ViaSat-3 class satellite is expected to deliver more than 1-Terabit per second of network capacity, and to leverage high levels of flexibility to dynamically direct capacity to where customers are located.

Updated: Jan 3, 8:05pm UTC

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

First flight of the Miura 5 launch vehicle.

Updated: Mar 5, 5:01pm UTC

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. 35-40 satellites will be carried on each Ariane 6 launch.

Updated: Jan 23, 6:30pm UTC

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

KOMPSAT-7 is the follow-up model of KOMPSAT-3A whose mission is to provide high-resolution satellite images to satisfy South-KoreaÒ€ℒs governmental and institutional needs.

Updated: Mar 11, 1:00am UTC

Joint mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to investigate the interaction between Earth’s protective shield – the magnetosphere – and the supersonic solar wind.

Last Update: Targeting early 2026

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Second of EUMETSAT's second generation of Metop weather satellites.

Last Update: NET June 2026.

🎯 Geostationary Transfer Orbit

Intelsat 45 is a small geostationary communications satellite that will provide Ku-band fixed-satellite services enabling Intelsat to provide specialized and efficient service to Media and Network customers. IS-45 weighs about 1 metric ton at launch and is designed and built by SWISSto12, based on the company’s innovative HummingSat platform. HummingSats are just over one cubic meter in volume, one-tenth the size of conventional satellites placed in geostationary orbit. SWISSto12 is developing the satellites in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its public-private-partnership program, benefiting from unique and patented 3D printing technologies.

Third of EUMETSAT's third generation of weather satellite.

Updated: Jan 3, 8:05pm UTC

SES satellite to support the end-to-end secure Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system for Europe.

Last Update: NET 2026

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Sentinel-3C is the third satellite in the Sentinel-3 constellation, which provides high-accuracy optical, radar and altimetry data for marine and land services.

Last Update: NET 2026

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

The Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) satellite is a part of ESA's Earth Explorer program. The satellite will map vegetation fluorescence to quantify photosynthetic activity.

Last Update: NET 2026, likely on the same launch as Altius

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

ALTIUS is a satellite mission proposed by the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy to monitor the distribution and evolution of stratospheric ozone in the Earth's atmosphere.

Last Update: NET 2026, likely on the same launch as FLEX

🎯 Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Sentinel CO2M-A carries a near-infrared and shortwave-infrared spectrometer to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by human activity, providing the EU with a unique and independent source of information, to assess the effectiveness of policy measures, and to track their impact towards decarbonizing Europe and meeting national emission reduction targets.

Last Update: NET 2026

First debris removal mission by the Swiss startup ClearSpace. Contracted by the European Space Agency, it is designed to catch and de-orbit part of a Vega rocket from Low Earth Orbit using four articulated arms.
