The mission is kno wn as KF-03. The Kuiper constellation will enable Internet service for cus tomers between 56 degrees north and south latitude. The Falcon 9 booster i s designated B1091.2 for this flight\, flying with a reused fairing.\n-\nO perational satellites of the Kuiper constellation are a significant upgrad e from the two prototype satellites of the Protoflight mission. The ~572kg satellites are equipped with Hall-effect thruster technology for propulsi on. They feature improved systems and sub-systems on board\, including pha sed array antennas\, processors\, solar arrays\, propulsion systems\, and optical inter-satellite links. In addition\, the satellites are coated in a dielectric mirror film unique to Kuiper that scatters reflected sunlight to help make them less visible to ground-based astronomers. Kuiper is pla nned to work in concert with Amazon's network of 12 satellite ground stati on facilities. In addition to connecting to ground stations\, satellites w ill interconnect via optical infrared laser connections. Amazon refers to this technology as OISL (optical inter-satellite link).\nThe Kuiper conste llation is planned to consist of 3236 satellites operating in 98 orbital planes in three orbital shells\, one each at 590km\, 610km and 630km orb ital altitude. Kuiper satellites will fly in mid-inclination orbits\, enab ling Internet service for customers between 56 degrees north and south lat itude. Phase 1 of deployment will be 578 satellites at 630km altitude and an orbital inclination of 51.9 degrees. A total of five phases of constell ation development are planned.\n-\nDelayed from Oct. 1\, 4\, 7\, 9\, 10 an d 12.\n\nWebcast: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1PlKQOoqVeMJE\nhttps://www.sp acex.com/launches/kf-03\nhttps://youtu.be/W59LJoet1sY\nhttps://spaceflight now.com/2025/10/13/live-coverage-spacex-poised-to-launch-24-amazon-kuiper- satellites-following-days-of-weather-delays/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live /ltOy7WTPQHo\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/7bcpnn_PO-A LOCATION:Space Launch Complex 40\, Cape Canaveral\, FL\, Vereinigte Staate n END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Electron • StriX 7 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251014T163300Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251014T163300Z UID:332445468307 DESCRIPTION:A Rocket Lab Electron rocket topped with a Curie kickstage wil l launch the newest StriX satellite for Synspective\, its seventh sat afte r StriX α\, β\, 1\, 3\, 4 and 2. Rocketlab's mission will be named "Owl New World" and will use a customized fairing.\n-\nStriX are Japanese synth etic aperture radar satellites built by Synspective for their planned 25 s atellite constellation. They feature an X-band synthetic aperture radar. T he 100kg StriX operational satellites are more light weight than the 150kg StriX α and β prototypes. The satellites feature two deployable panes\, one side carrying solar cells\, the other carrying the X-band radar anten na.\nSynspective is planning a constellation of 25 satellites that can tar get data with a ground resolution of 1-3m\, single polarized (VV)\, and a swath width of more than 10-30km. The StriX observation modes are Stripmap and Sliding Spotlight mode and each satellite has an SAR antenna that is 5 meters in length and stowed during launch. The simple design of the sate llites allows for affordable development of the constellation.\n\nWebcast:  https://www.youtube.com/live/gkvby1Prnjs\nhttps://rocketlabcorp.com/live -stream/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/QiAkspCCq_g\nhttps://www.youtube.co m/live/bkIYVDMNqjA LOCATION:LC-1A (Rocket Lab)\, PVQ8+93\, Māhia 4198\, Neuseeland END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Falcon 9 B5 • PWSA 50–70 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251014T231200Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251014T231200Z UID:293488645871 DESCRIPTION:A SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket will launch 21 operational s atellites for the U.S. military’s Space Development Agency PWSA (Prolife rated Warfighter Space Architecture) constellation. The Tranche 1 satellit es (codenamed Wildfire) on this flight are for the Transport Layer and wer e built by Lockheed Martin on a Terran Orbital bus. The mission is designa ted as SDA-T1TL-C and the Falcon 9 booster is B1093.7 for this flight. The 2nd stage is equipped with a Mission Extension Kit. Comprising a gray ban d on the RP-1 tank\, extra helium bottles & batteries\, this kit extends t he life of the stage in-orbit\, allowing it to deploy the payload directly into its operational orbit.\n-\nOnce fully operational\, the SDA Transpor t Layer will consist of a proliferated heterogeneous constellation of data relay space vehicles (SVs) that provide persistent global coverage throug h a mesh network comprised of communication satellites that connect to one another and to other space vehicles and ground stations via optical inter satellite links (OISLs). By nature of the mesh network spanning the globe\ , the Transport satellites will also be able to transmit precise position\ , navigation and timing (PNT) data to enhance GPS. A-class satellites have at least four optical cross-links\, that is so they can talk to satellite s that are in plane with one another as they're traveling and they also ca n talk to satellites that are cross-plane or in completely different orbit s. So they can maintain those four lines of communication simultaneously. The B-class satellites will connect directly to the warfighters via the Li nk-16 military communications system. They have two optical cross-links ea ch\, so that allows them to maintain constant communication with the other transport satellites in plane. The two other nodes will be Link-16 transm itters. Link-16 is an existing tactical communication system used across t he services primarily for air and ground systems to share low latency data .The first phase of SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture con sists of 28 satellites (Tranche 0 including 20 communications payloads mad e by Lockheed Martin and York Space\, and eight missile-tracking infrared sensor satellites made by SpaceX and Leidos) as a proof of concept for the missile tracking and data relay network\, followed by more than 150 addit ional satellites to provide an initial operational capability. In total\, Tranche 1 will consist of 154 operational satellites: 126 in the transport layer developed by York\, Northrop Grumman\, and Lockheed Martin\, and 28 focused on missile warning and tracking developed by Northrop Grumman and L3Harris. Combining conventional tactical radio links\, laser inter-satel lite communications\, and wide-view infrared sensors\, hundreds more SDA s pacecraft could launch later as the Pentagon ramps up efforts and integrat es new capabilities.\n-\nDelayed from Q4 2024\, Q1 and Q2.\n\nWebcast: htt ps://x.com/i/broadcasts/1dRKZaDygPrxB\nhttps://www.spacex.com/launches/sda -t1tl-c\nhttps://spaceflightnow.com\nhttps://www.youtube.com/live/IkEeUdH4 pMM LOCATION:Vandenberg AFB Space Launch Complex 4\, Lompoc\, Kalifornien 9343 6\, USA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Long March CZ-8A • Guowang 109–117 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251016T013300Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20251016T013300Z UID:261587083397 DESCRIPTION:A China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) Long Marc h (Chang Zheng) CZ-8A rocket will launch a batch of 9 Hulianwang Digui sat ellites for the China SatNet Guowang internet constellation into orbit.
