Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ΣYNDEO-3 is a satellite built by Redwire Corporation for the European Union/European Space Agency (ESA)’s In-Orbit Demonstration and In-Orbit Validation Programme (IOD/IOV), which will carry 10 different technological demonstration payload from institutions of Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the European Commission. The satellite is built on Redwire's Hammerhead spacecraft platform.

Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ADRAS-J2 is a active orbital debris removal mission spacecraft developed and operated by Astroscale as part of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Commercial Removal of Debris Demonstration project. It will demonstrate active debris removal by safely approaching and capturing a non-cooperative H-IIA rocket upper stage. The target object measures approximately 11 meters in length, four meters in diameter and weighs around three tons. The mission aims to address the increasingly critical issue of space debris, in which unprepared objects in orbit pose an additional challenge as they have not been prepared with any technologies that enable docking or potential servicing or removal.

Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
ELSA-M (End of Life Services by Astroscale – Multiple) is Astroscale’s commercial satellite service designed to remove inactive satellites from orbit. It is the world's first End-of-Life (EOL) service for prepared, full-sized commercial end customers, harnessing magnetic capture for multiple satellite removals. The in-orbit demonstration mission is a partnership programme led by Astroscale and supported by the UK Space Agency, ESA, and the commercial satellite operator Eutelsat through the Sunrise Partnership Project, a public–private partnership between ESA and Eutelsat Group. The mission will safely approach and dock with a Eutelsat OneWeb communications satellite at its end of life, then remove it from orbit. This world first commercial ‘de-orbit as a service’ demonstration showcases the technologies and operational capability needed to reduce collision risk in Earth’s increasingly crowded Low Earth Orbit.

Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for the Norwegian Space Agency’s Arctic Ocean Surveillance (AOS) program. AOS-Demo will be built by thr Norwegian engineering company Eidel to demonstrate maritime monitoring technologies. AOS-Precursor will be built by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace as the first operational satellite of the system to track maritime activities in the Arctic.
