The launch of this mission was originally planned with Roscosmos' Angara 1.2 rocket, but the South Korean Ministry of Science cancelled this contract due to sanctions against Russia and signed a launch contract with Arianespace. 2025 (TBD) [246] Vega-C: Kourou ELV: Arianespace: TBA: TBA: Low Earth TBA SSMS #6 rideshare mission.
Earth Gravity Field Anomalies, geoid format, NASA Earth Observatory Earth Geoid Field Anomaly globe, NASA Earth Observatory Mars free-air gravity map Venus gravity anomaly map. A gravity map is a map that depicts gravity measurements across an area of space, which are typically obtained via gravimetry. Gravity maps are an extension of the field ...
Europa Clipper was launched on October 14, 2024, at 12:06 p.m. EDT from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. [119] Hurricane Milton caused a launch attempt for October 10 to be scrubbed, [120] resulting in the launch being finalized for October 14.

[63] 2027 (TBD) [65] Nuri (KSLV-II) Naro LC-2: KARI: TBA: TBA: Low Earth TBA Sixth planned launch of Nuri, and the final launch in the extended testing and verification phase for the launch vehicle. 2027 ...
The spacecraft's telecom system will be used to map gravity strength at Venus' surface, providing a uniform resolution of better than 160 km. [16] [23] The data will provide an estimate of Venus' core size and information about topographic features that lie underneath the planet's surface. [24] [25]
The joint NASA-ESA Titan Saturn System Mission proposal envisioned the SLS as an option for launch. [26] On 10 February 2021, it was announced that Europa Clipper would not launch aboard an SLS. [27] In July 2021, NASA booked a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch for Europa Clipper at a price of $178 million. [28]
Landsat 9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle. [12] NASA is in charge of building, launching, and testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive. [13]
