Upcoming Launches

We're building a list of launches from public sources that you can easily connect to Zapier.

• Falcon 9 — 2 x Galileo

  _{in 10 days}

  Payload consists of two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system.

• Vulcan VC4L — Dream Chaser CRS 2 Flight 1

  _{in 10 days}

  First flight of the Dream Chaser Spaceplane to the ISS.

• Falcon Heavy — GOES-U

  _{in 10 days}

  The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S Series (GOES-S) is the second of the next generation of geostationary weather satellites. The four satellites of the series will provide advanced imaging with increased spatial resolution and faster coverage for more accurate forecasts, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and improved monitoring of solar activity.

• H-IIA 202 — GOSAT-GW

  _{in 10 days}

  GOSAT-GW (Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite Greenhouse gases and Water cycle), formerly known as GOSAT 3, is JAXA's next generation satellite to monitor the greenhosue gases like carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere. It is the follow on to the GOSAT 2 (Ibuki 2) and GCOM-W (Shizuku) missions. GOSAT-GW will have two missions: greenhouse gases observation for Japan's Ministry of the Environment and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and water-cycle observation for JAXA. By developing the GOSAT-GW satellite, Mitsubishi Electric will contribute to measures for preventing disasters attributed to global warming and climate change, and to advance scientific and technological methods that enable more accurate prediction of climate change. In December 2013, Mitsubishi Electric (MELCO) was selected as the prime contractor for the spacecraft and the instruments.

• H-IIA 202 — IGS Radar 8

  _{in 10 days}

  The IGS Radar 8 is a Japanese radar reconnaissance satellite. The satellite is operated by the Cabinet Satellite Information Center. The satellite serves both Japan's national defense and civil natural disaster monitoring.

• Falcon 9 — Cygnus CRS-2 NG-21

  _{in 10 days}

  This is the 21st flight of the Orbital ATK's uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus and its 20th flight to the International Space Station under the Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.

• Falcon 9 — Bandwagon 1 (Dedicated Mid-Inclination Rideshare)

  _{in 10 days}

  Dedicated rideshare flight to a mid-inclination orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers.

• Soyuz 2.1a — Progress MS-27 (88P)

  _{in a month}

  Progress resupply mission to the International Space Station.

• Long March 5 — Chang'e 6

  _{in a month}

  Chang'e 6/CE-6 is scheduled to launch in 2024 to return samples from the Far Side of the Moon (near southern edge of the Apollo Basin) for the first time. International science instruments from France, Italy, Sweden and Pakistan will also be on board.

• Falcon 9 — EarthCARE

  _{in a month}

  EarthCARE (Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer) is a joint mission of ESA and JAXA. The main goal of the mission is the observation and characterization of clouds and aerosols as well as measuring the reflected solar radiation and the infrared radiation emitted from Earth's surface and atmosphere.
