🚀 **Upcoming Space Launch** 🚀

🌌 **Mission Name**: Falcon 9 Block 5 | Starlink Group 15-7

🗓️ **Launch Date**: 2025-06-28T16:43:00Z

🚀 **Rocket**: Falcon 9

📖 **Details**: A batch of satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.

🌌 **Mission Name**: H-IIA 202 | GOSAT-GW

🗓️ **Launch Date**: 2025-06-28T16:33:03Z

🚀 **Rocket**: H-IIA

📖 **Details**: GOSAT-GW (Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite Greenhouse gases and Water cycle), formerly known as GOSAT 3, is JAXA's next generation satellite to monitor the greenhosue gases like carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere. It is the follow on to the GOSAT 2 (Ibuki 2) and GCOM-W (Shizuku) missions.

GOSAT-GW will have two missions: greenhouse gases observation for Japan's Ministry of the Environment and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and water-cycle observation for JAXA. By developing the GOSAT-GW satellite, Mitsubishi Electric will contribute to measures for preventing disasters attributed to global warming and climate change, and to advance scientific and technological methods that enable more accurate prediction of climate change.

In December 2013, Mitsubishi Electric (MELCO) was selected as the prime contractor for the spacecraft and the instruments.

🌌 **Mission Name**: Electron | Symphony In The Stars

🗓️ **Launch Date**: 2025-06-28T07:00:00Z

🚀 **Rocket**: Electron

📖 **Details**: 'Symphony In The Stars' is the first of two dedicated missions on Electron to deploy a single spacecraft to a 650km circular Earth orbit for a confidential commercial customer.

A second dedicated launch on Electron to meet those same mission requirements is scheduled for launch before the end of 2025.

A possible identity of the payload (based on the mission patch, mission name and the orbit altitude) is it being a EchoStar Lyra Block 1 S-band IoT (Internet-of-Things) communication satellite, of which 4 are planned.

🌌 **Mission Name**: Electron | Get The Hawk Outta Here (4x HawkEye 360)

🗓️ **Launch Date**: 2025-06-26T17:28:00Z

🚀 **Rocket**: Electron

📖 **Details**: HawkEye 360 is a a space-based civil global intelligence satellite network using radio frequency (RF) technology to help monitor transportation across air, land and sea and assist with emergencies, and to provide civil SIGINT (Signal Intelligence) mission.

The constellation of small satellites (named Hawk) will collect information on specific radio signals worldwide to provide high-precision radio frequency mapping and analytics from Low Earth orbit (LEO).

3 of the satellites will comprise HawkEye 360’s Cluster 12 and will

operate in a dawn-to-dusk polar orbit, while the 4th is Kestrel-0A, an experimental satellite designed to evaluate emerging capabilities and future technology enhancements.

Latest Space Breaking News: Rolling for science: Mars orbiter learns new moves after nearly 20 years in space

Link: https://phys.org/news/2025-06-science-mars-orbiter-years-space.html

Summary: After nearly 20 years of operations, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) is on a roll, performing a new maneuver to squeeze even more science out of the busy spacecraft as it circles the Red Planet. Engineers have essentially taught the probe to roll over so that it's nearly upside down. Doing so enables MRO to look deeper underground as it searches for liquid and frozen water, among other things.
