IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) is a NASA mission to study interactions between solar wind and the local interstellar medium. Carrying a suite of 10 scientific instruments, IMAP is able to investigate how particles are accelerated, determine their composition, as well as help to advance space weather forecasting models. The IMAP launch also includes the space weather satellite SWFO-L1 (Space Weather Follow-On - L1) for NOAA and the GLIDE (Global Lyman-alpha Imagers of the Dynamic Exosphere/Carruthers Geocorona Observatory) mission to study far ultraviolet emission in the Earth's exosphere.
Last Update: Tweaked T-0.

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.
Last Update: NET second half of October 2025.
TBD
Nov 2025
Ninth of ten GPS III missions.
Last Update: NET November.
TBD
Nov 2025
KOMPSAT-7 and 7A are the follow-up satellites of KOMPSAT-3A, whose mission is to provide high-resolution satellite images to satisfy South-Korea's governmental and institutional needs.
Last Update: NET November.
First flight of the Dream Chaser Spaceplane to the ISS.
Last Update: NET late 2025.
TBD
2025
Maiden flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle carrying the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), a dual-spacecraft mission to study ion and sputtered escape from Mars. The spacecrafts' scientific goals are to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars' hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows; understand how energy and momentum are transported from the solar wind through Mars' magnetosphere; and understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere.
Last Update: NET Q4 2025.
TBD
2025
Demonstration flight of the Astrobotic Griffin lander and its engines, initially contracted for the cancelled NASA VIPER (Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) mission. The vacated payload spot will now host the FLIP (FLEX Lunar Innovation Platform) lunar rover from Astrolab.
Last Update: NET December.
TBD
2025
This is a Crew Dragon flight for a private company Axiom Space. The mission will carry a professionally trained commander alongside three private astronauts to and from the International Space Station for a month.
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: NET early 2025.
TBD
2025
This is the 22nd flight of the Northrop Grumman's uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus and its 21st flight to the International Space Station under the Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
Last Update: Delayed until after NG-22 due to spacecraft damage during transport.

Note: Name of payload is provisional. Fifth launch of an ultimately 5 reconnaissance satellites for the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), with 1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite on this launch. They will be launched to low Earth orbit between 600 and 700 km by 2025, enabling South Korea’s military to observe the nuclear-armed neighbor’s key military facilities every two hours with 30-50 centimeters resolution imagery, according to a 2019 report produced by the Korea Institute of S&T Evaluation and Planning. The project is lead by the Korean Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), with input from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), Hanwha Systems and Thales Alenia Space.
