On the v2 sats the Krypton thrusters are replaced with new and more powerful Argon Hall thrusters. Starlink sats are able to track on-orbit debris and capabl e of autonomous collision avoidance. All satellites will be equipped with anti-reflective coatings.

The Arctic is Eart h’s thermostat. It regulates the climate by venting excess energy receiv ed in the tropics. Nearly 60% of Arctic emission occurs at wavelengths > 1 5µm (FIR) that have never been systematically measured. PREFIRE improves Arctic climate predictions by anchoring spectral FIR emission and atmosphe ric greenhouse effects (GHE). PREFIRE will fly miniaturized thermal infrar ed spectrometers\, covering 0 - 45µm at 0.84µm spectral resolution. The sensors are based on technology previously flown on the Mars Climate Sound er\, an instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The CubeSats wi ll orbit Earth’s poles to measure far-infrared emissions and how they ch ange throughout the day and over seasons. The observations will allow scie ntists to assess how changes in thermal infrared emissions at the top of E arth’s atmosphere are related to changes in cloud cover and surface cond itions below\, such as the amount of sea ice and meltwater on the surface of the ice. The mission is planned to operate for one seasonal cycle (a ye ar).\n-\nDelayed from May 1.

EarthCARE observations will lead to more relia ble climate predictions and better weather forecasts through the improved representation of processes involving clouds\, aerosol and radiation. The mission was switched from Soyuz ST-B to Falcon 9 in mid-2023\, due to bein g slightly oversized for Vega C.\n-\nEarthCARE is the sixth satellite in E SA's Earth Explorer program and weighs 2270kg. Built by Airbus DS for a de signed service life of 3\,5 years the satellite is equipped with four obse rvation instruments\; Backscatter Lidar (ATLID)\, Cloud Profiling Radar\, Multi-Spectral Imager and a Broadband Radiometer. EarthCARE is a single pl atform with a payload of two active sounders (lidar and radar) and two com plementary passive instruments (multi-spectral imager and a broadband radi ometer). The two active instruments will provide vertical profiles of clou d and aerosol parameters. The multi-spectral imager will enable different cloud types and aerosols to be distinguished and will provide the meteorol ogical/optical context of the active-sampled profiles. The radiometer will provide broadband radiances at the top of the atmosphere that will serve as a consistency test of the retrievals of cloud radiative properties from the active instruments. The EarthCARE mission aims to improve the represe ntation and understanding of the Earth's radiative balance in climate and numerical weather forecast models by acquiring vertical profiles of clouds and aerosols\, as well as the radiances at the top of the atmosphere.\n-\ nDelayed from August 2019\, 2022\, March and Q1.

The Arctic is Earth’s t hermostat. It regulates the climate by venting excess energy received in t he tropics. Nearly 60% of Arctic emission occurs at wavelengths > 15µm (F IR) that have never been systematically measured. PREFIRE improves Arctic climate predictions by anchoring spectral FIR emission and atmospheric gre enhouse effects (GHE). PREFIRE will fly miniaturized thermal infrared spec trometers\, covering 0 - 45µm at 0.84µm spectral resolution. The sensors are based on technology previously flown on the Mars Climate Sounder\, an instrument on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The CubeSats will orbi t Earth’s poles to measure far-infrared emissions and how they change th roughout the day and over seasons. The observations will allow scientists to assess how changes in thermal infrared emissions at the top of Earth’ s atmosphere are related to changes in cloud cover and surface conditions below\, such as the amount of sea ice and meltwater on the surface of the ice. The mission is planned to operate for one seasonal cycle (a year).\n- \nDelayed from May 15.

They feature a 3 .5-meter aperture deployable mesh-based reflector antenna. The improved sa tellites increase radar bandwidth from 500 to 700 megahertz and power by m ore than 40 percent compared to the Capella 2nd generation Whitney satell ite series\, and are 50% larger. For Acadia\, Capella is upgrading the pay load downlink antenna to reduce the time between ground contact and imagin g. Acadia satellites also will be equipped with optical communications ter minals\, a move designed to reduce the time from imagery collection to dow nlinking. Capella is planning a 30 satellite constellation in its final st age.\n-\nDelayed from February and April.\n\nWebcast: \nhttps://www.rocke tlabusa.com/live-stream LOCATION:LC2\, 41 N Seawall Rd\, Wallops Island\, VA 23337\, USA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:(NET) Electron • TBD DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240615 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240616 UID:338223844924 DESCRIPTION:A Rocket Lab Electron rocket topped with a Curie upper stage w ill launch a government payload into orbit.

SPHEREx is an all-sky infrared spectral survey explorer satel lite developed under NASA's MIDEX (Medium Explorer) program. It will produ ce four complete all-sky maps that will serve as a rich archive for the as tronomy community and perform an all-sky survey to measure the near-infrar ed spectra of approximately 450 million galaxies. PUNCH is a mission in NA SA's Small Explorer program (SMEX)\, which will focus directly on the Sun ’s outer atmosphere\, the corona\, and how it generates the solar wind. Composed of four suitcase-sized satellites\, PUNCH will image and track th e solar wind as it leaves the Sun. \n-\nSPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for t he History of the Universe\, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) adre sses all three science goals in NASA's astrophysics division\, with a sing le instrument\, a wide-field spectral imager: Mapping the large scale stru ctures if galaxies to study the process of inflation in the early universe \, adressing the objective to probe the origin and destiny of the universe . Measuring the total light production from stars and galaxies across cosm ic history adressing the objective to explore the origin and evolution of galaxies. Determining how interstellar ices bring water and organics into proto-planetary systems furthering the objective to explore\, whether plan ets around other stars could harbor life. The ~200kg SPHEREx is based on B all Aerospace's RS300 spacecraft and will create spectra with high sensiti vity using a cooled telescope with a wide field-of-view for large mapping speed. During its two-year mission. SPHEREx achieves this with no moving p arts except for one-time deployments of a sunshield and aperture cover.\n- \nThe PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) misson uses a 1+3 constellation of four 40kg observatories\, each carrying one instrum ent. The Narrow Field Imager (NFI) sits on only one spacecraft\, and is an externally occulted visible-light coronagraph. The Wide Field Imagers (WF Is) are side-looking heliospheric imagers with planar-corral baffles that sit on the remaining three spacecraft. The spacecraft also will track coro nal mass ejections – large eruptions of solar material that can drive la rge space weather events near Earth – to better understand their evoluti on and develop new techniques for predicting such eruptions. These observa tions will enhance national and international research by other NASA missi ons such as Parker Solar Probe\, and the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter. PUNCH w ill be able to image\, in real time\, the structures in the solar atmosphe re that these missions encounter by blocking out the bright light of the S un and examining the much fainter atmosphere. The fields of view of the 3 WFIs overlap slightly with each other and with the NFI below\, the instrum ents are matched in wavelength coverage and exposure time\, and the instru ments' operation is synchronized.
