Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer F
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Tranche 1 Transport Layer F is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
A new Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) mission by the United States Space Force Space Systems Command to deliver responsive space delivery. The mission consists of an Impulse Space Mira orbital transfer vehicle that will operate in Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO), which would be transferred from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) on an Impulse Space Helios kick stage. A Helios rideshare payload will also be delivered to GEO.
