Upcoming missions

  2. Starlink Group 9-6

    12.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

    A batch of satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.

  3. BlueBird Block 1

    12.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    First five satellites for SpaceMobile’s cellphone-compatible broadband constellation.

  4. Galileo L13 (FOC FM26 & FM32)

    15.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    Two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system. Originally planned for launch on Soyuz-ST and then Ariane 6 but both were unavailable. Galileo provides Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.

  5. Crew-9

    24.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    SpaceX Crew-9 is the ninth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

  6. OneWeb 20

    30.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

    A batch of 20 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.
