In approximately June 2025, DARPA will be launching the Ouija satellite into Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). Ouija will carry multiple scientific instruments that will quantify the High Frequency (HF) noise environment in space, gather a first-ever in situ dataset to significantly improve the characterization of the bottom-side of the ionosphere from inside the F2 layer, and validate accurate near real-time HF propagation predictions. The VLEO altitude regime (approximately 200 km - 300 km) is of particular interest due to its information rich environment where ionospheric electron density is at a maximum.
On Monday, January 27 at 5:05 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.This was the 20th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously CRS-26, SXM-9, OneWeb Launch 16, Instelsat IS-40e, O3B mPOWER, Ovzon 3, Eutelsat 36D, Turksat 6A, Maxar 2, and now 11 Starlink missions.

Jeff Foust @jeff_foustAt the Global Spaceport Alliance meeting today in Orlando, Adam Oakes of Firefly says the company is planning five Alpha launches this year, all from Vandenberg. First Alpha launch from Wallops in early 2026, and from Esrange in Sweden in late ’26/early ’27.

Blue Origin @blueoriginWe are scrubbing today’s launch. In addition to thick clouds we've been tracking all morning, we also encountered an issue related to the booster’s avionics. New launch target forthcoming.
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, January 29 for a Falcon 9 launch of the Hisdesat SpainSat NG I mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The two-hour window opens at 8:34 p.m. ET. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Thursday, January 30 at the same time.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.Due to the additional performance required to deliver this payload to orbit, this will be the 21st and final flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SES-22, ispace's HAKUTO-R MISSION 1, Amazonas-6, CRS-27, Bandwagon-1, GSAT-20, Thuraya-4, and 13 Starlink missions.
AstroForge announced Jan. 29 that its Mission 2 spacecraft launching next month will travel to the asteroid 2022 OB5, a small near Earth asteroid that could be metallic. The spacecraft, called Odin, will fly by the asteroid about 300 days after launch.Odin is flying as a secondary payload on the Falcon 9 launch Intuitive Machine’s IM-2 lunar lander mission. Intuitive Machines announced Jan. 28 that it delivered the lander, Athena, to Cape Canaveral and is planning a launch for a four-day window that opens Feb. 26....Another mission is planned to launch as a rideshare on IM-3, scheduled for launch in late 2025 or early 2026. After that, Gialich said AstroForge would press ahead with missions to mind asteroids.
The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Spainsat NG-1 communication satellite from pad 39A on January 29 at 8:34 p.m. - 12:23 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on February 3 at 3:54-7:54 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch the Worldview Legion 5 & 6 satellites for Maxar on February 3 at 6:32 p.m. EST.

Two Florida Falcon 9 launches on February 3 UTC, which leads to the deduction that WorldView Legion Flight 3 will launch from LC-39A. I don't know why Ben hasn't listed that yet.

NS-29Launch TimeTue Feb 4, 2025 15:30 GMT
We have entered into agreements for the design, construction and launch of three additional satellites, SXM-10, SXM-11 and SXM-12. Construction of these satellites is underway, and those satellites are expected to be launched into geostationary orbits in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively.
At Maxar Space Systems, we take pride in partnering with innovative companies like SiriusXM that push the boundaries of what’s possible. The Maxar 1300™ platform is designed with mission adaptability and reliability in mind, making it an ideal choice for the requirements of SXM-9 and the upcoming SXM-10, -11 and -12 satellites.
At 29:00 in this interview, he states that Pandora is aiming for a "NET October launch date on a SSO rideshare" (probably Transporter-15?).
