NASA said Griffin was now expected to be ready for the mission no earlier than September 2025.
Rocket Lab has been the sole launch provider for Synspective's StriX constellation to date, successfully deploying four StriX satellites across four dedicated Electron launches. In addition to the 10 new dedicated launches signed today, another two launches for Synspective have already been booked and are scheduled for launch this year from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand. The launches in the new deal will take place across 2025 – 2027.
The maiden flight of the more powerful Ariane 64 configuration, which has four strap-on boosters, is expected to occur by the end of 2021 with a ViaSat-3 geostationary satellite.
The first flight of Sierra Space's Dream Chaser to the International Space Station is now scheduled for no earlier than May 2025.
Peregrine will fly on a VC2S, Dream Chaser will fly on a VC4L.
Around thirty of the upgraded Glonass-K2 satellites (beginning with serial nr. 24L) are expected to be launched beginning in 2024, some flying solo on Soyuz-2 rockets, others in pairs on Angara-A5 rockets.
Because of that funding, we will be able to launch that Tranche One Tracking Layer starting in May of 2025.
SDA said it expects the T1 Tracking Layer's first plane to launch no later than April 30, 2025, and the subsequent planes to follow on one-month intervals.
Launch of a seventh new GPS-III satellite slated for next month was rescheduled for January 2025, the service said.
The long-delayed flight of the first Glonass-K2 (serial number 13L) is now set for the first quarter of next year, with a second satellite (nr. 14L) expected to follow later in 2023.
Orienspace is looking to launch its first liquid propellant rocket in 2025. The 60-meter-tall Gravity-2 will have a core stage and solid boosters. The rocket will use nine 100-ton-thrust Yuanli-85 gas generator kerosene engines for the first stage.
Following are the space programmes & missions planned in the year 2024. [...] One SSLV mission, to launch a technology demonstration Satellite (EOS-08).
We're currently building two demonstration satellites that will launch in early 2023 and plan to expand to a fully operational constellation of many satellites by 2025.
