Nuri | CAS500-5
Korea Aerospace Research Institute | South KoreaNaro Space Center, South Korea
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The South Korean CAS500-5 (Compact Advanced Satellite 500 5) is a small Earth observation satellite. It will be equipped with a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload (providing a 120 km image swath and 10 m resolution) to support missions including water resource monitoring and river management for the South Korean Government Ministry of Environment.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Motus Via Sol is the first mission of the Supernova spacecraft tug/proximity operations vehicle by the US company Portal Space Systems, designed to operate across LEO, MEO, GEO, and cis-lunar space. It uses a solar thermal powered propulsion system named FLARE with prospects of providing 6 km/s of delta-V. Other ride-share payload are planned with integration to be provided by Maverick Space Systems.
