There are obviously further delays with OneSat satellites. Various sources about Optus-11.

Sky had originally been planning to switch to a new more capable satellite, Optus 11, late next year.

But that satellite is not now expected to be available before 2027 due to manufacturing delays, and the earlier expected failure of D2 means it is likely to need to rely on an interim solution for about two years.

https://spacenews.com/maiaspace-to-use-former-soyuz-launch-pad-in-french-guiana/
Quote
MaiaSpace said Sept. 26 that CNES awarded it access to the pad, known as ELS, for use by its small launch vehicle. The pad at the Guiana Space Center had been idle since Russia halted Soyuz launches from there in 2022, a response to European sanctions against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

MaiaSpace said in a statement it will spend “several tens of millions of euros” to adapt the pad for use by its vehicle for launches starting in 2026. However, Yohann Leroy, chief executive of MaiaSpace, called it a more “cost-effective solution” than building an entirely new launch facility, a move that will “contribute to optimizing the level of its capital expenditures and therefore MaiaSpace’s business viability.”

Can we add clarity about the distinction between contracted and 'to be contracted' launches.
More than half of the schedule has not been contracted jet.
AFAIK the contracted schedule is 8x Ariane 62; 21x Ariane 64 and up to 6x Vega C. No launches are contracted beyond <2030.
For example there isn't a contracted launch for SpaceRider.
In my previous post at this topic I shared screenshots showing the contracted payloads for Ariane 6.

https://spacenews.com/vega-c-ready-for-return-to-flight-after-second-motor-test/
Quote
At a briefing in late August ahead of the final launch of the original version of Vega, Toni Tolker-Nielsen, ESA’s director of space transportation, said there was “very good confidence” that the second test of the Zefiro-40 would be successful based on the performance of the motor in the first test.

He said then that the Vega C was on track to return to flight as soon as late November, a schedule that had not changed in over a year through the redesign and testing of the motor. “We’ve been following a plan that was set out in the middle of last year and I’m very confident that we will be able to make it with Vega C’s return in the end of November,” he said.

That return-to-flight mission will carry Sentinel-1C, a radar imaging satellite that is part of the ESA/European Commission Copernicus program of Earth science spacecraft.

Vega C’s return comes as Arianespace, the launch services provider, transitions the vehicle to Avio. Arianespace will remain responsible for the operations of the next five Vega C flights, scheduled through the end of 2025, at which point Avio will take over. Avio is already handling sales and marketing of the rocket, a role previously held by Arianespace.

ARIANESPACE TO LAUNCH EUROPEAN UNION’S COPERNICUS EARTH OBSERVATION SENTINEL-1C SATELLITE ON DECEMBER 3, 2024

Press release 24-11
Evry-Courcouronnes, 10 October 2024


• On December 3, 2024 (Kourou time), Arianespace will launch Sentinel-1C, a Copernicus
satellite for the European Commission within the scope of a contract signed with the European
Space Agency (ESA).

• This mission will provide crucial environmental data for the planet, while also carrying out
Arianespace’s commitment of guaranteeing Europe’s independent access to space.

• Sentinel-1C is the 6th Sentinel satellite launched by Arianespace

• This VV25 mission will mark the return-to-flight of the Vega C launcher.

Arianespace’s next mission is scheduled for Tuesday December 3rd, 2024, at 6:20 p.m. local time (9:20 p.m.
UTC, 10:20 p.m. CEST), from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, with a Vega C launcher. The
VV25 mission will place its passenger, the Copernicus Sentinel-1C satellite, into Sun-Synchronous Orbit at an
altitude of around 700 km. Spacecraft separation will occur 1 hour and 43 minutes after lift-off.

Sentinel-1C is part of Copernicus, the European Union’s Space program Earth observation component. The
world’s most advanced Earth observation system, Copernicus provides continuous, free, and reliable Earth
observation data and services to public authorities, companies and citizens around the globe. The program,
managed by the European Commission, is funded by the European Union with a contribution of ESA.

The Sentinel-1 radar imaging mission is composed of a constellation of two polar-orbiting satellites providing
continuous all-weather, day and night imagery for land and maritime monitoring. C-band synthetic aperture
radar (SAR) imaging has the advantage of operating at wavelengths that are not obstructed by clouds or lack
of illumination and therefore can acquire data during day or night under all weather conditions. Sentinel-1
delivers radar imagery for numerous applications. SAR images are the best way of tracking land subsidence
and structural damage: systematic observations and enhanced interferometric capabilities make ground
movement barely noticeable in everyday life detectable and closely monitorable. As well as being a valuable
resource for urban planners, this type of information is essential for monitoring shifts from earthquakes,
landslides and volcanic uplift. Moreover, it helps geohazard monitoring, mining, geology and city planning
through subsidence risk assessment.

Thales Alenia Space is the prime contractor of Sentinel-1C which arrived in French Guiana on October 8th,
2024. During the launch campaign, the satellite will undergo a precise series of pre-launch tests in preparation
for its lift-off, leading to the Launch Readiness Review (LRR) planned on December 2nd, 2024. The successful
completion of the LRR triggers the approval for proceeding to the launch chronology.

Before the upcoming launch of Sentinel-1C, Sentinel-1A, Sentinel-2A, Sentinel-1B, Sentinel-2B and Sentinel-
2C were successfully launched by Arianespace. The VV25 mission once again highlights Arianespace’s
commitment to space for a better life on Earth, as well as ensuring Europe’s independent access to space.
This VV25 mission will mark the return-to-flight of the Vega C launcher.

The Vega C launcher has been upgraded with more powerful first and second stage Solid Rocket Motors, bigger
AVUM tanks and with a larger fairing that significantly increase payload mass (up to 2,350t in SSO – Sun-
Synchronous Orbit) and double allowable volume. The launcher also better meets the specific needs of small
spacecraft, thanks to its improved SSMS (Small Spacecraft Mission Service) dispenser and to its AVUM+ motor
that will allow seven re-ignitions. Vega C can thus deliver its payloads on three different orbits on the same
mission, instead of the two previously possible with Vega.

ESA is responsible for the Vega C launch system qualification and is the contracting authority for the
development of Vega C, a programme carried out with participation of thirteen ESA Member States. Avio Spa
(Colleferro, Italy) is the prime contractor and design authority of the Vega C launchers, delivering a ready to liftoff
launcher to Arianespace, which will remain its operator up to Vega/Vega C Flight 29 (VV29).
The first generation in the Vega family was launched in 2012 and flew 22 times, with a successful final flight
on September 4th with Sentinel-2C on board.

The VV25 launch at a glance:

➔ 351st launch for the Arianespace launcher family
➔ 10% of the satellites launched by Arianespace are Earth observation satellites
➔ 6th Sentinel satellite launched by Arianespace
➔ 51st mission for the European Space Agency
➔ 3rd Vega C launch
➔ 107th spacecraft built by Thales Alenia Space launched by Arianespace

ESA to build first in-orbit servicing mission with D-Orbit

Quote
ESA has taken another important step on the road towards sustainability in space with its first in-orbit servicing mission RISE. A €119 million contract was signed with D-Orbit as the co-funding prime contractor.

RISE is a commercial in-orbit servicing mission that will demonstrate that it can safely rendezvous and dock to a geostationary client satellite. After verifying that it meets all the performance standards, D-Orbit will start commercial life extension services for geostationary satellites.

ESA’s RISE mission marks a promising step towards enhancing in-orbit services and technologies, such as refuelling, refurbishment and assembling – all essential elements for creating a circular economy in space. 

Quote
RISE is expected to launch in 2028, kicking off an eventful 8-year mission in geostationary orbit. To start with, the satellite will transfer to a staging orbit just above regular geostationary orbit at an altitude of almost 36 000 km.
