Second and last Galileo launch on a Falcon 9 and overall thirteenth launch of Galileo satellites, carrying two satellites. Originally planned to launch on Soyuz ST-B, but scrapped due to geopolitical factors. Then moved to Ariane 6, which was also scrapped due to delays. Europe contracted SpaceX to launch the two pairs aboard Falcon 9. 19 September
Kuiper currently has 2 test satellites on orbit. Project Kuiper System is planned to consist of 3,236 satellites operating in 98 orbital planes in three orbital shells, one each at 590 km (370 mi), 610 km (380 mi), and 630 km (390 mi) orbital altitude. [26] The satellites are equipped with Hall-effect thruster technology. [27]
