China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation | ChinaTaiyuan Satellite Launch Center, People's Republic of China
Dec. 16, 2025, 3:17 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
The ZY-3 (Ziyuan-3, 'Resource-3') series represents China's first high-resolution, stereoscopic mapping satellites for civilian use. The second satellite is managed by the Satellite Surveying and Mapping Application Center (SASMAC). The imaging payload consists of a three-line camera array and a multispectral imager. The three-line panchromatic camera array to acquire stereoscopic imagery consists of three telescopic cameras with one oriented to the nadir and the other two each offset by 22° forward and backward in flight direction. The stereo mapping camera of ZY-3 has a resolution of 2.1 m for the nadir camera, and 2.6 m for the offset cameras. The swath width is 51 km. The multispectral imager for environmental and vegetation monitoring consists of a three-mirror telescope and a cooled detector system sensitive to four wavelength bands to capture full-color imagery as well as near-infrared data. The ground resolution of this system is 5.8 m.

Atlas V 551 | Amazon Leo (LA-04)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Dec. 16, 2025, 8:28 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
Amazon Leo, formerly known as 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. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.

Mission:
Maiden orbital launch attempt for the South Korean stratup Innospace and its HANBIT-Nano small launch vehicle. Onboard this flight are five small satellites from the Brazilian space agency AEB, Brazilian university Universidade Federal do Maranhão and Indian startup Grahaa Space, as well as three payloads from AEB and Brazilian company Castro Leite Consultoria that will remain attached to the rocket, and an empty aluminium can from the South Korean beverage company Brewguru.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
Electron | Don't Be Such A Square (STP-S30)
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
Dec. 18, 2025, 5 a.m.
Status: Go for Launch
Mission:
STP-S30 is a complex mission that will deliver research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit for the DoD and contribute to future space systems development. The projected primary payload, DISKSat, will demonstrate sustained very low earth orbit (VLEO) flight and test a unique, 1-meter diameter, disk-shaped satellite bus that is designed to increase on-orbit persistence.
