Firefly Aerospace | Firefly Alpha | Lockheed Martin Mission 2 Rocket Launch
Second of up to 25 launches of Low Earth Orbit technology demonstration satellites to be built and operated by Lockheed Martin. Details of the satellite TBD.
SpaceX | Starship | Flight 12 Rocket Launch
12th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. Maiden Flight of Starship V3
Rocket Lab | Electron | LOXSAT 1 Rocket Launch
LOXSAT 1 is a demonstration satellite of a complete cryogenic oxygen fluid management system in orbit, developed by Eta Space and sponsored by NASA’s Tipping Point program.
The system will be integrated on a Rocket Lab Photon-LEO satellite bus and collect critical cryogenic fluid management data in orbit for 9 months, demonstrating capabilities of in-space cryogenic storage and transferal. Eta Space plans to use technology developed for this mission to develop a truly commercial depot intended to serve multiple customers in the future.
Rocket Lab | Electron | Kakushin Rising (JAXA Rideshare) Rocket Launch
JAXA-manifested rideshare of eight separate spacecraft that includes educational small sats, an ocean monitoring satellite, a demonstration satellite for ultra-small multispectral cameras, and a deployable antenna that can be packed tightly using origami folding techniques and unfurled to 25 times its size.
The satellites were originally planned to launch with RAISE-4 on a Japanese Epsilon-S rocket, but the Epsilon-S was heavily delayed due to test firing failures.
The 8 satellites are:
* MAGNARO-II
* KOSEN-2R
* WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II
* FSI-SAT2
* OrigamiSat-2
* Mono-Nikko
* ARICA-2
* PRELUDE
Indian Space Research Organization | Gaganyaan Abort Test Booster | TV-D2 Rocket Launch
The second inflight abort test of the Gaganyaan program.
CAS Space | Kinetica 2 | Demo Flight Rocket Launch
First test launch of CAS Space’s Kinetica-2 rocket.
Space Pioneer | Tianlong-3 | Demo Flight Rocket Launch
First test launch of Space Pioneer’s Tianlong-3 rocket.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer F Rocket Launch
Tranche 1 Transport Layer F is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites.
The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.
Indian Space Research Organization | GSLV Mk II | GISAT-1A (EOS-05) Rocket Launch
GISAT-1A (GEO Imaging Satellite) is an Indian earth observing satellite operating from geostationary orbit to facilitate continuous observation of Indian sub-continent, quick monitoring of natural hazards and disaster.
