Northrop Grumman Space Systems | Minotaur IV | EWS OD-1 Rocket Launch
The Electro-Optical/Infrared Weather System (EWS) Operational Demonstration-1 (OD-1) is a weather satellite for the United States Space Force. It is a prototype satellite made by General Atomics that will be place in LEO for a three-year demonstration mission of new EO/IR sensor technologies to various US military branches, and to act as a stop-gap for Defense Department needs for weather data.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | Transporter 14 (Dedicated SSO Rideshare) Rocket Launch
Dedicated rideshare flight to a sun-synchronous orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | NAOS Rocket Launch
NAOS (National Advanced Optical System) is the space component of Luxembourg’s governmental dual-use observation satellite system LUXEOSys (Luxembourg Earth Observation System). Its purpose is to provide high resolution images to national and international governmental and military organizations such as NATO.
The 800 kg satellite is built by OHB Italia and is equipped with a very high-resolution optical camera with a ground reolution of 50 cm in an around 450 km high sun-synchronous orbit. It will have a operational life time of 7 years.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | TRACERS Rocket Launch
NASA’s Tandem Reconnection and Cusp Electrodynamics Reconnaissance Satellites (TRACERS) mission, consisting of two identical satellites that will orbit Earth in tandem (one following the other), will help understand magnetic re-connection and its effects in Earth’s atmosphere. Magnetic re-connection occurs when activity from the Sun interacts with Earth’s magnetic field. By understanding this process, scientists will be able to better understand and prepare for impacts of solar activity on Earth.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer B Rocket Launch
Classified mission launched by the Space Development Agency (SDA) for Tranche 1 Transport Layer.
SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | Transporter 15 (Dedicated SSO Rideshare) Rocket Launch
Dedicated rideshare flight to a sun-synchronous orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers.
