Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer C
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Tranche 1 Tracking Layer C is one of five missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Tracking Layer constellation, which will provide global indications, warning, tracking, and targeting of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.
Polar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | 9 x Globalstar-3
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD December, 2026
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Globalstar global mobile communications network offers global, digital real time voice, data and fax services via its Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation. The constellation operates in a 1410 km orbit inclined at 52 degrees. In early 2022, Globalstar contracted with MDA for the construction of 17 new 3rd generation satellites to replenish the existing constellation. Rocket Lab is sub-contracted to build the satellites' buses and the launch dispensers.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
TBD August, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Wide-field gamma-ray telescope designed to study energetic phenomena in the Milky Way and beyond, including the creation and destruction of matter and antimatter and the final stages of the lives of stars. The mission is a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory, the University of California, San Diego, the Naval Research Laboratory, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, and Northrop Grumman.
Low Earth OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JPSS 4 (Joint Polar Satellite System spacecraft No. 4)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaVandenberg SFB, CA, USA
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The JPSS constellation of satellites collects global multi-spectral radiometry and other specialized meteorologic, oceanographic, and solar-geophysical data via remote sensing of land, sea, and atmospheric properties. These data support NOAA’s mission for continuous observation of Earth’s environment to understand and predict changes in weather, climate, oceans, and coasts to support the nation’s economy and protect lives and property. NASA uses the instruments aboard the JPSS satellites to continue decades of Earth science research for the betterment of humanity. JPSS-4 carries the NASA Earth Venture mission Libera, an instrument to improve our understanding of trends in Earth’s energy imbalance and our changing climate.
