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.

First flight of the rocket in its Ariane 64 configuration, which features four P120C boosters, and is capable of delivering payloads of up to 21.6 tonnes to LEO. The flight will also be the first to utilise the 20-metre-long fairing, to encompass 32 Amazon Leo satellites.

USSF-87 is a U.S. Space Force mission to deploy two Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites—commonly referenced as GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8—into geosynchronous orbit. The satellites are intended to support space domain awareness by observing and characterizing objects and activity in the geosynchronous region.

Elektro-L is an advanced Russian heavy meteorological satellite. Its mission will help in weather forecasting, studying seas and oceans, navigating aircraft and ships, as well as researching the ionosphere and magnetic fields. This mission marks the return to flight of the Proton-M heavy-lift rocket after a three-year hiatus. The rocket was last used on March 13, 2023, while its previous launch in this specific configuration—with the Blok DM-03 upper stage—took place on February 5, 2023, to deliver the Elektro-L №4 satellite into orbit. This flight will be the final mission of Proton-M paired with the Blok DM-03 upper stage. Although newer derivatives of the DM-03 will continue flying aboard the Angara-A5 rocket from the Vostochny and Plesetsk Cosmodromes, Proton-M will henceforth operate exclusively with the Briz-M upper stage.

This mission carries a verification satellite for South Korea’s new government-backed microsatellite constellation, flying from Rocket Lab’s launch site on the Māhia Peninsula in New Zealand. Built jointly by Satrec Initiative, KAIST’s Satellite Technology Research Center, and KARI, it supports the country’s first mass-produced satellite system dedicated to high-precision monitoring of the Korean Peninsula and follows an initial prototype satellite that is already in orbit.

GPS III SV09 is a U.S. Space Force Global Positioning System navigation satellite (the ninth spacecraft in the GPS Block III series) intended to provide positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services as part of the GPS constellation in medium Earth orbit. GPS Block III satellites introduce updated signal capabilities compared to earlier generations, including improved military signal features (such as M-code) and civil signal support including L1C. SV09 carries the name “Ellison Onizuka” in honor of astronaut Col. Ellison Onizuka.
View in 3D map — GPS III SV09Associations use destination records plus a curated cross-world manifest for flybys and gravity assists. 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.
