Upcoming Falcon 9 launches

Falcon 9 Block 5 | USSF-153

SpaceX · Vandenberg, California

Go for Launch

Thu, Sep 10 · 11:37 AM ET

USSF-153 is a classified mission for the United States Space Force. It is possibly a batch of classified LEO satellites for a US government entity based on SpaceX’s Starshield satellite bus, based on locations of rocket stage drop zones being exact fits with previous Starlink Group 15 launches.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | O3b mPower 11-13

SpaceX · Cape Canaveral, Florida

To Be Confirmed

Sun, Sep 13 · 2:50 PM ET

3 high-throughput communications satellites in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) built by Boeing and operated by SES.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Crew-13

SpaceX · Cape Canaveral, Florida

To Be Determined

Planned for Sep 29 — date not yet set

SpaceX Crew-13 is the thirteenth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer A

SpaceX · Vandenberg, California

To Be Determined

Planned for Sep 29 — date not yet set

Tranche 1 Transport Layer A is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance. This launch carries 21 satellites manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
