Vulcan | USSF-43
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2025
Electron | STP-S30
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
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.

TBD December, 2025
Epsilon S | JV-LOTUSat-1
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency | JapanUchinoura Space Center, Japan
TBD December, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Vietnamese Synthetic Aperture Radar Earth observation satellite build by NEC Corporation of Japan, based on Japan's ASNARO 2 satellite and the NEXTAR NX-300L satellite bus. The satellite will contribute to measures against natural disasters and climate change in Vietnam.

Firefly Alpha | QuickSounder
Firefly Aerospace | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
QuickSounder is the first satellite mission of the Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which aims to replace the current Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of polar orbit weather satellites. This pathfinder mission will demonstrate NOAA's ability to launch a small satellite within 3 years, flying a refurbished Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) instrument to polar orbit.
Sun-Synchronous Orbit
SLS Block 1 | Artemis II
National Aeronautics and Space Administration | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD February, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Artemis II is the first crewed mission as part of the Artemis program. Artemis II will send a crew of 4 - 3 Americans and 1 Canadian around the moon and return them back to Earth. The mission will test the core systems of NASA's Orion spacecraft including the critical life support system, among other systems which could not be tested during Artemis I due to the lack of crew onboard.
Lunar flybyFalcon 9 Block 5 | Nova-C IM-3
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD March, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is the third mission to the Moon for Intuitive Machines with its Nova-C lunar lander. It is to deliver 130 kg of payloads to the lunar surface. This mission also includes a rideshare possibility due to available excess capacity on the launch vehicle.
