Upcoming Spaceflights
Ariane 64 | GO-1
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Ariane 64 | Optus-11
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Optus-11 is a Ku-band communications satellite with a coverage zone encompassing Australia and New Zealand. Optus-11 incorporates a number of advanced technologies, especially the latest developments in digital processing, plus active antennas enabling the creation of several thousand beams.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitAriane 64 | OneWeb L?
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
A batch of satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, which is intended to provide global Internet broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites (of which 60 are spares), around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit.
Polar OrbitAriane 64 | Hellas Sat 5
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Ariane 64 | Comet Interceptor
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ESA's Comet Interceptor consists of three spacecraft which will be positioned at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, where they will wait for a long-period comet or an interstellar object to come by. Once the desired target appears, the spacecraft will separate and perform a flyby of the target, compiling a detailed 3D profile of a comet.
Heliocentric N/AAriane 64 | Nyx ALADDIN
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Exploration Company's Nyx spacecraft, a reusable space vehicle designed to transport cargo to and from low Earth orbit, will fly its first demonstration mission for the European Space Agency (ESA) under the ALADDIN (Autonomous LEO Accelerated Demo Docking to ISS Node) initiative. The spacecraft will demonstrate European-based space station resupply capability by rendezvous and dock to the International Space Station (ISS), then undock and return to Earth.

Polar OrbitAriane 64 | Koreasat 9
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Koreasat 9 is a new geostationary telecommunications satellite designed and built by AscendArc to expand South Korea's KT SAT's capacity and support the growing demand for high-performance connectivity services. Once in its operational position in geostationary orbit, the satellite will provide hundreds of Gbps of Ka-band capacity, extending affordable broadband connectivity to underserved communities across the Asia-Pacific region.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitAriane 64 | IS-45
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Intelsat 45 is a small geostationary communications satellite that will provide Ku-band fixed-satellite services enabling Intelsat to provide specialized and efficient service to Media and Network customers. IS-45 weighs about 1 metric ton at launch and is designed and built by SWISSto12, based on the company’s innovative HummingSat platform. HummingSats are just over one cubic meter in volume, one-tenth the size of conventional satellites placed in geostationary orbit. SWISSto12 is developing the satellites in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) through its public-private-partnership program, benefiting from unique and patented 3D printing technologies.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitAriane 64 | GovSat-2
ArianeGroup | FranceGuiana Space Centre, French Guiana
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
GovSat-2 is the second satellite for GovSat, the public-private partnership between SES and the Luxembourg government. The satellite is designed to address the needs of defense users at the highest Security and Service Assurance Level, adding new ultra-high frequency (UHF) channels in the X- and military Ka-bands, and will include other security features such as dedicated hardening, an advanced anti-jamming system, and embedded geo-location. GovSat-2 will be positioned over the European satellite arc, joining GovSat-1 in augmenting reliable connectivity services for government customers over the region. The satellite will be built by Thales Alenia Space on its Spacebus 4000B2 platform.
