DESCRIPTION:A SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket will launch a batch of 25 Sta
 rlink v2 Mini Optimized satellites into low Earth orbit. This flight is in
 ternally known as Starlink Group 17-29 and the booster is designated as B
 1081.24 for this mission\, flying with a reused fairing.\n-\nStarlink v2 M
 ini Optimized satellites are built by SpaceX and have a reported launch ma
 ss of 575kg. The mass-produced spacecraft carry a communications payload u
 sing the Ku and Ka frequency bands\, plus E-band for backhaul\, which will
  allow Starlink to provide ~4x more capacity per satellite than earlier it
 erations. They also employ optical inter-satellite links\, phased array be
 am forming and digital processing technologies. On the v2 sats the Krypton
  thrusters are replaced with new and more powerful Argon Hall thrusters. T
 he Optimized chassis features upgrades\, such as a new backhaul antenna wi
 th a SpaceX-designed and built dual-band chip and improved avionics\, prop
 ulsion and power systems. Starlink sats are able to track on-orbit debris 
 and capable of autonomous collision avoidance. All satellites will be equi
 pped with anti-reflective coatings.\nThe updated Starlink network architec
 ture has 1584 satellites at 550km altitude and an inclination of 53 degree
 s\, 1584 satellites at 540km and an inclination of 53.2 degrees\, 720 sate
 llites at 570km and an inclination of 70 degrees\, and 520 satellites at 5
 60km and an inclination of 97.6 degrees. The initial FCC application cover

 ollow-on network of 7518 additional Starlink satellites transmitting in V-
 band frequencies. In the final deployment stage an additional 30000 Starli

 r antenna.\nSynspective is planning a constellation of 25 satellites that 
 can target 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 S
 tripmap and Sliding Spotlight mode and each satellite has an SAR antenna t

 ation. The mission is known as Leo 7 by ULA and LA-07 by Amazon. Total pay
 load mass will be ~16.7 tonnes. Atlas will deploy the satellites in an ini
 tial orbit of 450km altitude\, the satellites will then use their electric
  propulsion systems to settle into their assigned final orbits. The Amazon
  Leo constellation will enable Internet service for customers between 56 d

 ration with a five-meter medium length fairing\, five GEM-63 solid rocket 
 boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.\n\nMission profile video
 : https://youtu.be/ZATwTLIbQu8\n-\nOperational satellites of the Amazon Le
 o constellation (formerly known as Project Kuiper) are a significant upgra
 de from the two prototype satellites of the Kuiper Protoflight mission. Th
 e ~572kg satellites are equipped with Hall-effect thruster technology for 
 propulsion. They feature improved systems and sub-systems on board\, inclu
 ding phased array antennas\, processors\, solar arrays\, propulsion system
 s\, and optical inter-satellite links. In addition\, the satellites are co
 ated in a dielectric mirror film unique to Amazon Leo that scatters reflec
 ted sunlight to help make them less visible to ground-based astronomers. A
 mazon Leo is planned to work in concert with Amazon's network of 12 satell
 ite ground station facilities. In addition to connecting to ground station
 s\, satellites will interconnect via optical infrared laser connections. A
 mazon refers to this technology as OISL (optical inter-satellite link).\nT
 he Amazon Leo constellation is planned to consist of 3236 satellites opera
 ting in 98 orbital planes in three orbital shells\, one each at 590km\,
  610km and 630km orbital altitude. Kuiper satellites will fly in mid-incli
 nation orbits\, enabling Internet service for customers between 56 degrees
  north and south latitude. Phase 1 of deployment will be 578 satellites at
  630km altitude and an orbital inclination of 51.9 degrees. A total of fiv

DESCRIPTION:Arianespace will launch an Ariane 6 rocket on a flight designa
 ted VA2XX\, to put the MTG-I 2 meteorological satellite into geosynchronou
 s transfer orbit. The Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite will pro
 vide weather imagery over Europe for the European weather satellite agency
 \, Eumetsat. Ariane 6 will fly in the Ariane 62 configuration\, using 2 so
 lid rocket boosters.\n-\nMTG-I 2 is the third satellite in the 3rd generat
 ion series of Meteosat. It is built on the SmallGEO (LUXOR) bus of OHB wit
 h Thales Alenia Space instruments and weighs about 3.76 tonnes. MTG (Met
 eosat Third Generation) is the follow-up system to the Meteosat MSG ser
 ies of geostationary satellites. MTG will consist of a twin configuration
  of 3-axis-stabilised satellites: the Imaging mission satellite (MTG-I) an
 d the Sounding mission satellite (MTG-S). The payload for MTG-I consists 
 of the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI)\, Lightning Imager (LI)\, Data Colle
 ction System (DCS)\, and search and rescue (GEOSAR). The FCI is expected 
 to outperform MSG Spinning and Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIR
 I) observations on cloud\, aerosol\, moisture and fire by adding new chann
 els in the solar domain and by improving temporal-\, spatial-\, and radiom
 etric resolution. For instance\, the FCI in its High Resolution Fast Image
 ry mode focusing on Europe/North Africa with a resolution down to 500 met
 ers and a repeat cycle of 2.5 minutes will produce the greatest benefits t
 o Nowcasting services. The IRS will provide breakthrough measurements on 
 the time evolution of horizontal and vertical water vapour and temperature
  structures. It is an unprecedented source of information on the dynamic a
 nd thermodynamic atmospheric fields\, an important benefit to the Nowcasti
 ng and Numerical Weather Prediction services. It will also support forecas
 ting pollution and monitoring of atmospheric minor constituents through it
 s capability to provide estimates of diurnal variations of tropospheric co
 ntributions of atmospheric trace gases like ozone and carbon monoxide. Th
 e LI mission will deliver continuously and simultaneously measurements on 
 total lightning over the full disk\, improving the quality of information 
 essential for Nowcasting services\, for instance early warning of severe w
 eather and air traffic routing and safety. The LI is therefore expected to
  contribute significantly to risk reduction measures. It will also contrib
 ute to the remote sensing of precipitation and support environmental appli
 cations related to the atmospheric chemical processes and to the climate s
 ystem.\n\nWebcast:\nhttps://www.arianespace.com/road-to-space/

DESCRIPTION:A Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket will air-launch from its 
 L-1011 "Stargazer" carrier aircraft to deploy the Swift Reboost mission of
  Katalyst for NASA in orbit. Swift's orbit has decayed considerably over t
 he years\, from an initial 600km to about 400km. Its descent is accelerati
 ng due to atmospheric drag and it would experience reentry around the end 
 of 2026\, so a rescue mission was designed. The Katalyst spacecraft\, name
 d Link\, will head to an orbit similar to that of Swift\, then spend two t
 o three weeks closing in on the observatory. The boost vehicle will inspec
 t its target and once its state is understood\, the rescuer\, which is abo
 ut 1.5m tall and weighs 350kg\, will close in and capture Swift using its 
 three robotic arms. This will be challenging\, as the NASA observatory was
  not designed to be serviced. After a successful capture\, the Katalyst sp
 acecraft will haul Swift back up to its initial altitude of ~600km\, which
  will boost its lifetime by another ~20 years. The Swift observatory was b
 uilt by Orbital Sciences\, a company that in 2014 became Orbital ATK\, whi
 ch was then acquired by Northrop Grumman in 2018. The triple-engine carrie
