Blue Origin | New Glenn | EscaPADE Rocket Launch
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.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | O3b mPower 9-11 Rocket Launch

SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | SpainSat NG II Rocket Launch
Second of two new-generation satellites built by Airbus to provide secure communications to the Spanish government, its allies, and various international organizations.
SpaceX | Falcon Heavy | Griffin Mission One Rocket Launch
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.
United Launch Alliance | Vulcan | USSF-57 Rocket Launch
First of three Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared geostationary satellites designed for missile warning.
United Launch Alliance | Atlas V 551 | Project Kuiper (KA-03) Rocket Launch
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.
