Planet 03 · Terrestrial ocean world
The only known world with a living ocean.
Earth is the largest rocky planet and the only place known to host life. Liquid surface water, plate tectonics, a protective magnetic field, and a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere make it unlike every other world we have examined.
World profile
About 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases.
A moving rocky crust with continents, ocean basins, ice, and active plate tectonics.
Global average about 59 °F (15 °C)
One — the Moon
Composition
Field notes
Earth is the only planet known to keep stable liquid water on its surface.
The moving liquid-metal outer core generates the magnetic field that helps shield the atmosphere.
The leading model for the Moon's origin starts with a giant impact into the young Earth.

JAXA is preparing a rideshare mission carrying eight independent spacecraft, including educational small satellites, an ocean‑monitoring satellite, a demonstrator for ultra‑small multispectral cameras, and a satellite equipped with a deployable antenna that uses origami‑style folding to compact itself and then expand to 25 times its stowed size. These satellites were originally scheduled to launch with RAISE‑4 on a Japanese Epsilon‑S rocket, but the Epsilon‑S program experienced major delays following multiple test‑firing failures. As a result, the rideshare has been reassigned. The eight satellites are: MAGNARO‑II, KOSEN‑2R, WASEDA‑SAT‑ZERO‑II, FSI‑SAT2, OrigamiSat‑2, Mono‑Nikko, ARICA‑2 and PRELUDE

As per NOTAMs (Notices to Airmen) a Soyuz-2 rocket in unknown configuration is scheduled to launch from Plesetsk Cosmodrome between April 13 and 29, 2026 with two launch windows daily between 21:00-23:59 and 00:00-16:00 UTC. It appears that in the same window a launch of Angara-1.2 is planned with another unknown payload and NOTAMs are announced jointly for both. The launch of Soyuz 2.1b with Volga upper stage took place at 23:18 UTC from Plesetsk Cosmodrome launch pad 43/4. It was the first instance of using this particular configuration. The official announcement say about payloads in plural and so far US published tracking data on 3 objects related to this launch one of which should be Volga upper stage and two other the payloads.

Mission-name collisions such as Project Mercury and Saturn launch vehicles are deliberately kept with Earth unless they actually visited the planet. Technically obvious; historically necessary.
