Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
NZSA Venus Mission is a small direct Venus entry probe with a single 1 kg low-mass, low-cost autofluorescing nephelometer riding on a satellite bus based on the Photon Upper stage of the Electron rocket. The probe mission will spend approximately 5 minutes in the Venus cloud layers, 48-60 km above the surface, collecting in situ measurements to search for organic molecules in cloud particles and constrain particle composition.

Firefly Alpha Block 2 | INCUS
Firefly Aerospace | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Investigation of Convective Updrafts (INCUS) is a NASA Earth science mission led by Colorado State University that will investigate the behavior of tropical storms in order to better represent these storms in weather and climate models. It consists of 3 SmallSats flying in tight coordination to study why convective storms, heavy precipitation, and clouds occur exactly when and where they form. Each satellite will have a high frequency precipitation radar that observes rapid changes in convective cloud depth and intensities. 1 of the 3 satellites also will carry a microwave radiometer to provide the spatial content of the larger scale weather observed by the radars. By flying so closely together, the satellites will use the slight differences in when they make observations to apply a novel time-differencing approach to estimate the vertical transport of convective mass.
Low Earth OrbitNeutron | Kepler Communications Constellation
Rocket Lab | United States of AmericaWallops Flight Facility, Virginia, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Multiple new Low Earth Orbit communication satellites by Kepler Communications, for expanding Kepler’s constellation with additional optical connectivity, on-orbit compute, and hosted payload capacity. The satellites will support a range of commercial and government missions.
