The next launch attempt for the Globalstar 2-R Launch 1 mission is now NET June 3rd according to SpaceX' internal systems linked to their website.

The first Globalstar 2-R launch was originally scheduled for today, and then delayed to May 20th due to the delays to CRS-34, however it has been delayed further because teams need more time to prepare the satellites for launch. The next attempt is now May 25th at the earliest.

The fairing with the 29 Amazon Leo satellites for LA-07 has been integrated with Atlas V. While it may not feel this way, this actually is the penultimate Atlas V to fly with a fairing. Launch is now NET May 29th at 16:27 UTC due to a component that needed to be replaced.

GS1-7E03 "No, It's Necessary" has been integrated with GS2 ahead of the NG-4 launch! This pace puts them nicely on track for a launch next month, if they can close the investigation by then. When the vehicle is integrated onto the T/E, I'd expect them to roll out for a hotfire.

During their last earnings release, AST SpaceMobile mentioned Vulcan among their launch vehicles. This lines up with what they said during their Q4 2025 earnings, when they mentioned they signed "a new heavy launch vehicle on standby". Vulcan can carry 5 BlueBird satellites.

Intuitive Machines announced that their subsidiary Lanteris Space Systems has completed the SXM-11 satellite, and that it'll soon be shipped to the launchsite! The satellite is scheduled to launch in July. While no launch vehicle has been announced, it'll likely be Falcon 9.

ULA says they are beginning to stack the next Vulcan while the SRB investigation continues. This will be Amazon Leo LV-01, which will be the 1st with 6 SRB's & LEO Centaur V. Stacking will allow teams to perform tests & a WDR to be ready once the investigation ends. 📸 USSF-106

SES says they've canceled their orders for the Intelsat-41 & 44 satellites because they do not meet Internal Rate of Return thresholds. Like Flexsat, they were ordered from Thales in 2022 and to be based on the Space INSPIRE platform. They were set to launch on Ariane 64 in 2027.

Following LVOS on May 5th, the SRB's for LA-07 were mated on May 7th. The fairing transporter was also moved to Amazon's Payload Processing Facility today to pick up the fairing, so the Centaur upper stage has likely also been stacked. Launch is NET May 22th at 18:56 UTC.

Nice view of ViaSat-3 F2's massive reflector successfully deployed in GEO! ViaSat-3 F1 experienced an anomaly during the deployment of its reflector, limiting its performance, so it's good to see F2's deployed! ViaSat-3 F3 uses a different reflector from a different manufacturer.

Falcon 9 B1097-9 is vertical at SLC-4E for launch of NROL-172 later tonight at 02:13:50 UTC! This is the 2nd Starshield launch for the NRO's Proliferated Architecture this year, and the 13th overall. B1097 will land on OCISLY, indicating that up to 22 satellites could be carried.

Looking good, ViaSat-3 F2! 📸🛰️🌎 This amazing photo of our ViaSat-3 F2 fully deployed large reflector was taken in space – 2,236 miles above Earth. Exciting progress for our ViaSat-3 program, as we focus on advancing in-orbit testing of our ultra-high-capacity satellite.

The next Starshield launch for the NRO's Proliferated Architecture is coming up! Designated NROL-172 and scheduled for NET May 11th at 22:28 UTC, this will be the 2nd of ~6 launches this year. Unlike the last 2 missions, NROL-48 & NROL-105, NROL-172 will be a droneship landing again.

Globalstar has announced that 9 of 17 HIBLEO-4 Replacement satellites were delivered last month, and are set to launch aboard Falcon 9 later this month! They were built by MDA, using Rocket Lab's Lightning satellite platform. The remaining 8 are set to launch later this year.

After suddenly disappearing, notices for the launch of ISRO's GISAT-1A/EOS-05 satellite on GSLV-F17 are back! They indicate launch is now scheduled for NET May 21st between 03:15 and 07:15 UTC. The launch was reportedly delayed due to an issue with the payload adapter.

AST SpaceMobile has announced details for their next launch! Scheduled for NET Mid-June on Falcon 9, it will launch 3 BlueBird satellites (8 to 10/Block 2 FM3 to 5). These are the first to use a new ControlSat design, allowing satellites to be stacked and reducing their mass.

Blue Origin's 3rd New Glenn booster, GS1-7E03 "No, It's Necessary" is rolling out of the factory! GS1 is heading to LC-36, where it'll be prepared for launch on NG-4. Launch could be as little as a few weeks away, but this depends on the investigation into the NG-3 failure. 📸 Max Evans (NSF)

Yesterday SpaceX successfully launched the CAS500-2 rideshare mission. Here's my annotated payload image. While CAS500-2 was the primary payload, Loft-EarthDaily was the largest comprising of 6 Airbus Arrow satellites. SpaceX is also contracted to launch CAS500-4 in the future.

Arianespace successfully launched another 32 Amazon Leo satellites today. The next Ariane 6 launch, VA269, will be yet another Ariane 64 for Amazon Leo, LE-03! This mission will debut more powerful P160C SRB's, allowing more satellites to be launched at once.

Your package has arrived! 📦 We have confirmation that the 32 Amazon Leo 32 satellites have been delivered.

Thank you, Vulcain 2.1! 🔥 The core stage of Ariane 6 has now separated from the upper stage. Vinci will now take over to continue the rocket's ascent to the skies.

The 20-metre fairing just opened up to reveal our payloads to space for the first time. The upper and core stages of the rocket remain connected to the satellites as the rocket keeps moving forward.

Ariane 6 just left its four P120C boosters behind! Now it's time for the Vulcain 2.1 engine to take the lead propelling the rocket further away from Earth.

Beautiful views of Ariane 64 launching Amazon Leo LE-02, including a jellyfish!

And we have liftoff for Ariane 6 🚀 Flight #VA268 has just left Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana and is heading to low Earth orbit.

Rocket Lab has announced that Eta Space's LOXSAT-1 satellite has completed environmental testing, and will soon be shipped to the launchsite! LOXSAT was built upon Rocket Lab's Photon satellite platform, and is set to launch on Electron NET June 25th.

ViaSat-3 F3 was the first Falcon Heavy in 562 days, but luckily we won't have to wait long for the next one! Today's was the 1st of up to 4 launches this year. The next launch will be the Roman Space Telescope NET Early-Sep, and then there also is Griffin and a NSSL launch.

It’s official: ViaSat-3 F3 has successfully launched and we have acquired initial signals from the spacecraft! 🚀🛰️📡 🔗 Read the full release: vsat.co/4w012PD #ViaSat3F3 #Viasat3 #VS3 #VS3F3

Looks like Rocket Lab's next launch for Synspective is called "Viva La Strix" according to a patch on Rocket Lab's store! The launch is scheduled for next month, and will be the 2nd this year. An additional 4 launches are expected in July, August, October and December this year.

ULA successfully launched Amazon Leo LA-06 last night, just 23 days after LA-05! ULA is planning to continue this rapid cadence, with LA-07 scheduled for 24 days from today NET May 22nd. After LA-07 only LA-08 will remain, and then it's just 6 Starliner launches left for Atlas V.

The #ViaSat3 F3 satellite is now scheduled to launch on Wednesday, April 29, during an 85-min launch window opening at 10:13 a.m. ET. The satellite will be launched aboard a #SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Stream it here: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1NGaradEpARJj

F3 is the last in the ViaSat-3 series. F1 was launched as "Americas" 3 years ago. However an anomaly occured with the deployment of its antenna, resulting in F1 only being able to operate at ~10%. F2 was launched last November and is undergoing final deployments & testing in GEO.

It’s Launch Day! ☀️ We’re at LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center with ViaSat-3 F3 ready for flight. The 85-minute launch window opens at 10:21 a.m. ET – watch the mission broadcast from 10:05 a.m. ET here: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1lKQRvzzDjZGE #VS3 #VS3F3 #ViaSat3 #ViaSat3F3 #FalconHeavy

Encapsulated inside of the payload fairing is the ViaSat-3 F3 GEO communications satellite. Built by Boeing, the satellite weighs ~6,400kg, and has a massive unfurlable antenna. The satellite has a designed capacity of 1 Tbps, and will service the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

ULA has started an unusually long countdown for the LA-06 launch later today at 00:52 UTC. The countdown started ~10 hours earlier then usual, but that's because it'll include rolling Atlas V to the pad! Something that usually has already happened when they start the countdown.

Falcon Heavy's PY (left) booster is B1075-22, and the MY (right) booster is B1072-2. Both were built as side boosters for Psyche, as B1064 and B1065 were assigned to USSF-44 back then. When Psyche delayed, B1075 was converted to Falcon 9 and B1072 was kept in storage for GOES-U.

L-1! 🚀 #SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket has been rolled to pad at LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Vertical lift will begin later this evening along with final checks before the #ViaSat3 F3 launch. Watch it live tomorrow at 10:21 a.m. ET: https://vsat.co/41ZWKtZ

After delivering GS1-7E02 "Never Tell Me The Odds" to LC-36, Blue Origin's transporter was moved to their Rocket Park facility where they build their stages, likely to pick up GS1-7E03 "No, It's Necessary". It should soon be moved to LC-36 as well. 📸 nsf.live/spacecoast

L-2 🚀 ViaSat-3 Flight 3 has been encapsulated and mated to #SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket. F3 won't be seen again until it’s in space! Next step is preparing to roll the rocket to the launch pad ahead of launch day on Monday, April 27. 🔗 Get launch updates here: vsat.co/vs3 #VS3F3 #ViaSat3 #VS3

After arriving yesterday, Blue Origin lifted GS1-7E02 off Jacklyn, and placed it onto their transporter. It'll be moved to LC-36 where it'll be refurbished for another flight, likely NG-5. It'll soon be joined by GS1-7E03, expected to debut on NG-4. 📸 nsf.live/spacecoast

One last time, Just Read The Instructions returns after supporting a Falcon launch. Since joining the fleet in 2015, JRTI supported 156 launches, 155 of which were successful. It'll now be used to transport Starship hardware between Starbase & Florida. 📸 nsf.live/spacecoast

Over at LC-39A, the strongback has picked up the reaction frame, which is a good sign SpaceX is preparing to move the Transporter-Erector to the hangar for integration with Falcon Heavy! Launch continues to be targeted for April 27th at 14:21 UTC. 📸 www.youtube.com/watch?v=thfY...

On their website, Rocket Lab also confirmed success for the HASTE "Bubbles" launch, which means back-to-back success within 26 hours! Rocket Lab did not provide any additional details, but it's possible they might in a few weeks, which we've seen on a previous HASTE launch.

MISSION SUCCESS! Payload deployment confirmed for "Kakushin Rising" on our 87th Electron launch. Congratulations JAXA and welcome to orbit once again 🛰️
