Upcoming Launches

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

• Falcon Heavy — Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

  _{in 25 days}

  The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope with a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing a sharpness of images comparable to that achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28 square degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small field of view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Roman objectives include a search for extra-solar planets using gravitational microlensing, and probing the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structure, with the goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime.

• Falcon 9 — O3b mPower 11-13

  _{in a month}

  3 high-throughput communications satellites in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) built by Boeing and operated by SES.

• Firefly Alpha Block 2 — QuickSounder

  _{in a month}

  QuickSounder is the first satellite mission of the Near Earth Orbit Network (NEON) program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which aims to replace the current Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) series of polar orbit weather satellites. This pathfinder mission will demonstrate NOAA's ability to launch a small satellite within 3 years, flying a refurbished Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) instrument to polar orbit.

• Falcon 9 — 5x Astranis MicroGEO

  _{in a month}

  Five Astranis MicroGEO communications satellite to be inserted in a custom geostationary orbit, from where they conduct on-orbit maneuvers to reach their individual slots. The 5 satellites include: * Apco 1 & Apco 2 (Mexico) * Thaicom-9 (Thailand) * 1x for Chunghwa Telecom (Taiwan) * 1x for MB Group (Oman)

• Nuri — NeonSat-2 to 6

  _{in a month}

  NeonSat-2 to 6 are part of the South Korean government's Earth observation micro-satellite constellation NeonSat (New-space Earth Observation Satellite). The NeonSat constellation is the first satellite system developed by the government using a mass-production approach for precise monitoring of the Korean Peninsula.

• HANBIT-Nano — Flight 2

  _{in a month}

  Second orbital launch attempt for the South Korean start-up Innospace and its HANBIT-Nano small launch vehicle.

• Falcon 9 — SDA Tranche 2 Tracking Layer B

  _{in a month}

  Classified mission launched by the Space Development Agency (SDA) for Tranche 2 Tracking Layer.

• Falcon 9 — SDA Tranche 2 Tracking Layer A

  _{in a month}

  Classified mission launched by the Space Development Agency (SDA) for Tranche 2 Tracking Layer.

• Ariane 62 — Metop-SG B1

  _{in a month}

  Second of EUMETSAT's second generation of Metop weather satellites.

• H3-24 — Martian Moon eXplorer (MMX)

  _{in 2 months}

  MMX is a Japanese scientific mission to land on Phobos, one of the two moons of Mars, to collect samples before bringing them back to Earth. The mission includes a small French/German rover to explore the surface of Phobos.
