18 secondary payloads, including KID (Kestrel Initial Demonstrator), which is a small re-entry capsule from a European/Spanish startup (Orbital Paradigm) attempting a survivable atmospheric re-entry and various CubeSats from Indian startups and universities.
Launching an Earth observation satellite for the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The satellite will operate in a circular sun-synchronous dawn-dusk orbit with a nominal altitude of 619 km and an inclination of 97.86º.
The COSMO-SkyMed second generation (Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin observation) or CSG will replace the first generation COSMO-SkyMed system.
Block 2 BlueBirds will deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird satellites in orbit today. Featuring up to 2,400 square foot communications arrays, they will be the largest ever satellites commercially deployed in low Earth orbit.
First launch of the Long March 12A, which is the partially reusable variant of the Long March 12.
Although the planned landing of the reusable booster at a pad roughly 300km downrange of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center failed, the second stage entered the designated orbit.
First orbital launch attempt from Brazilian territory in 22 years, it is also the first commercial orbital launch from the Alcântara Launch Center in the Brazilian state of Maranhão. This launch will carry 5 satellites and 3 experiments to low Earth orbit.
The Hanbit-Nano two stage rocket is being developed by the South Korean startup Innospace.
Seventh Electron launch for Japanese Earth Imaging company iQPS.
The Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS) is a Japanese satellite manufacturer and operator.
The STP-S30 mission is a U.S. Space Force initiative aimed at deploying research experiments and technology demonstrations to orbit, contributing to the development of future space systems. The primary payload for this mission is DISKSat, a unique, disk-shaped satellite approximately 1 meter in diameter. DISKSat is designed to operate in very low Earth orbit (VLEO) and will test technologies intended to enhance on-orbit persistence.
