Tranche 1 Transport Layer E is a Space Development Agency mission carrying military data-transport communications satellites for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. The payloads add to SDA’s optically linked Tranche 1 Transport Layer, which provides low-latency tactical data relay and supports missile-warning/missile-tracking data dissemination. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launches the mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base into a polar low Earth orbit.
ISS Expedition 75 will include Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, as well as NASA astronaut Anil Menon, who will launch on board the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft in 2026.
Transporter-17 is a SpaceX Falcon 9 dedicated smallsat rideshare mission from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Its payload consists of multiple customer small satellites and deployers, with the mission profile focused on delivering rideshare spacecraft to sun-synchronous orbit for commercial and government applications such as Earth observation, communications, and technology demonstration.
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is orbiting the Earth, but also slowly sinking. Katalyst Space’s LINK robotic servicing spacecraft will launch into orbit aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket, then attempt to capture and raise the Swift Observatory satellite over the course of several months.
Amazon Leo (LA-08) is an Atlas V mission carrying Amazon Leo low-Earth-orbit broadband communications satellites. The payload supports Amazon’s satellite internet constellation, which provides high-speed, low-latency broadband service, with deployment into low Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Starlink (17-46) is a SpaceX Falcon 9 mission carrying a batch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The payload supports SpaceX’s low-Earth-orbit broadband constellation, which provides high-speed, low-latency internet service.
SXM-11 is a Falcon 9 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station carrying SiriusXM’s SXM-11 satellite, a digital audio radio broadcasting communications spacecraft. The payload supports SiriusXM satellite-radio service for North America and follows a geosynchronous transfer orbit deployment profile before operating in geostationary orbit.
Starlink (17-40) is a SpaceX mission using a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base to carry Starlink internet communications satellites. The payload supports SpaceX’s low-Earth-orbit broadband constellation, with the mission profile placing the satellites into low Earth orbit for subsequent orbit-raising and service integration.
The NROL-179 mission, launched by SpaceX aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, is a classified mission for the National Reconnaissance Office. It involves deploying a payload intended for national security purposes into a designated orbit. Specific details about the payload, its capabilities, and the precise orbital parameters remain undisclosed due to the classified nature of the mission.
