Falcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-31 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating both in Ka and Ku frequency bands, the JSAT-31 High Throughput Satellite will offer high speed broadband services over Japan, South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific islands. JSAT-31 will have the largest capacity in the history of SKY Perfect JSAT satellites. It will rely on Space INSPIRE, a highly flexible and fully software-defined solution that offers instant in-orbit adjustment to broadband connectivity demand, while maximizing the effective use of the satellite resources. SKY Perfect JSAT will leverage the satellite’s extreme flexibility to offer enhanced communications services all along JSAT-31’s lifespan in orbit.

Vega-C | SBG-TIR
Avio S.p.A | ItalyGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
TBD December, 2029
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Surface Biology and Geology - Thermal Infrared (SBG-TIR) Earth Observation mission aims to provide radiometric and multispectral measurements of terrestrial and aquatic emissions for climate, ecological, and geological analyses, and to support practical applications such as food security and water management. The thermal infrared (TIR) radiometer is provided by NASA, while the VIS-NIR camera is provided by ASI. Their combination ensures high-quality observations, enabling the investigation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, monitoring of water resources, and phenomena related to high temperatures such as wildfires and volcanic eruptions.
