The launch window for Isar Aerospace’s Onward and Upward mission opens at 22:00 CEST on 15 June 2026.

The launch window for Isar Aerospace’s Onward and Upward mission opens at 20:00 UTC on 15 June 2026.

The launch of Isar Aerospace’s Onward and Upward mission is subject to weather, safety, and range infrastructure conditions.

Isar Aerospace is developing Spectrum, an orbital launcher for the European small and medium satellite market.

BRO-22 is an RF satellite for maritime surveillance from Unseen Labs.

JAXA launched the H3 rocket on its eighth mission from Japan’s Tanegashima Space Center on Friday morning.

HORN-L and HORN-R are a pair of satellites that demonstrate how atmospheric drag can support debris mitigation.

JAXA returned its H3 rocket to flight after a failure in December.

STARS-X is a debris capture demonstration satellite from Shizuoka University.

Excessive shock during fairing separation caused the Michibiki 5 navigation satellite to separate from the rocket too early and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.

JAXA’s investigation found that the December failure to deliver the Michibiki 5 navigation satellite to orbit was caused by an anomaly with the payload adapter.

The H3 rocket delivered all six of its payloads to space on its eighth mission.

PETREL is an Earth-observation satellite developed by the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

The H3 rocket’s eighth mission was the first successful flight of the new three-engine variant.

Kinetica-1 Y14 launched from Jiuquan at 03:44 UTC on June 15, 2026.

Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace is developing RF SIGINT capabilities.

Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace is pursuing a European sovereign space strategy focused on security applications.

Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace is adapting SpinLaunch for security needs.

Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace is working on an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance constellation with Germany.

ZQ-3 Y2 and CZ-10B may launch around July 7 to 10 and both vehicles would attempt to land or catch their first stages.

Rivada Space Networks is pursuing an independent German patent application called Outernet-1 that also covers 576 satellites.

Liechtenstein later granted the 3ECOM licenses to Open Cosmos earlier this year.

Liechtenstein holds the Ka-band spectrum usage permits that Open Cosmos is using for its network.

Open Cosmos says its production capacity has not been affected by launch problems.

Liechtenstein has requested a UIT extension for the 144 satellites in the Open Cosmos constellation that are due in June.

Open Cosmos was founded in 2015 by engineer Rafel Jordá Siquier.

A January launch failure grounded India’s PSLV rocket and destroyed 16 unrelated spacecraft.

Open Cosmos launched two prototype satellites with Rocket Lab in January to activate the licenses.

Open Cosmos has built satellites that are ready for the next phase of the ConnectedCosmos constellation.

Open Cosmos must also meet a second UIT milestone requiring another 144 satellites to be in low Earth orbit by September.

The Outernet-1 project has deployment milestones extending into the 2030s.

Open Cosmos is a small-satellite company with a subsidiary in Barcelona.

Open Cosmos could lose Ka-band spectrum rights and reduce the final capacity of its network if it misses the deployment deadlines.

Rivada Space Networks planned to use the 3ECOM licenses for its Outernet broadband network proposal.

Open Cosmos operates satellite production facilities in the United Kingdom, Barcelona, Portugal, and Greece.

The UIT granted Rivada Space Networks an exemption in 2023 from an earlier deadline to deploy 10% of the constellation under the 3ECOM applications.

The 144-satellite June deadline and the 144-satellite September deadline together represent the 50% deployment milestone for the 576-satellite constellation.

Liechtenstein revoked Rivada Space Networks’ 3ECOM licenses in 2024 after a dispute over a performance bond.

UIT rules can determine the maximum size of a constellation’s protected spectrum rights based on how many satellites are deployed at the halfway deadline.

ConnectedCosmos is designed to deliver data in near real time.

Open Cosmos attributes the request for more time to force majeure caused by the withdrawal of the PSLV launcher from service.

Open Cosmos aims to become Europe’s highest-volume satellite manufacturer.

ConnectedCosmos uses optical inter-satellite links to combine broadband, IoT connectivity, and Earth-observation services.

Open Cosmos is seeking more time to deploy its sovereign broadband constellation for Europe after launch problems.

The Open Cosmos constellation consists of 576 satellites.

The CAMILA program is intended to reduce Poland’s reliance on third-party commercial geospatial data.

GMV’s Flight Operations Segment will integrate with Polish ground infrastructure, including tracking antennas and cloud-based data processing pipelines.

The CAMILA ground segment will handle mission monitoring, raw data downlink, and satellite health management.

The CAMILA program is a Polish satellite initiative developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency under an agreement with Poland’s Ministry of Development and Technology.

The CAMILA program is intended to strengthen Poland’s national security, defense, and civilian remote-sensing infrastructure.
