TBD
2026
GSAT-32 is a geostationary communications satellite for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The spacecraft is a replacement for GSAT-6A that failed before reaching geostationary orbit after launch in 2018.
Last Update: NET December.
TBD
Jan 2027
Oceansat-3A is a part of ISRO's Oceansat program. Its main purpose is ocean observation, which includes gathering ocean color data, sea surface temperature measurements and wind vector data.
Last Update: NET January.
Possibly prototype satellite for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)'s Satellite Based Surveillance-3 (SBS-3) program, which aims to provide better land and maritime domain awareness for civilian and military applications for the Indian government. The SBS-3 constellation will consist of up to 52 satellites in Low Earth and geostationary orbits. Safran Space of France will provide optical payloads for at least some of the satellites.

2027
Space Machines Company (SMC)'s second Optimus Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV), will launch on a mission designated Space MAITRI (Mission for Australia-India’s Technology, Research and Innovation). The mission will focus on debris management and sustainability, and will significantly advance Australia’s domestic space industry by combining Australian spacecraft capabilities with India's launch expertise. After separation, Optimus will perform a series of propulsive on-orbit maneuvers to inspect a space object in close proximity. It will then spend several months on orbit examining space debris to demonstrate affordable and accessible space sustainability technologies.

TBD
2027
First crewed flight of the Gaganyaan capsule.
Last Update: NET Q1 2027.
Chandrayaan-4 is a planned lunar sample-return mission of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and will be the fourth mission of its Chandrayaan programme. The mission consist of five modules, namely the DM (Descender Module), AM (Ascender Module), TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module). The planned mission life is 1 lunar day and the landing site will be near the Lunar South Pole. The second launch will lift the TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module) to orbit.
