2025SHALOMTechnology: HyperspectralOperation: 5 years
SHALOM (Spaceborne Hyperspectral Applicative Land And Ocean Mission) is a mission conceived jointly with the Israeli Space Agency which involves the construction of a system based on a single satellite in low orbit with a platform provided by Israel and an Italian hyperspectral instrument. Once operational, the SHALOM system will extend the operational capabilities of PRISMA by also enabling commercial services. Based on the results of Phase B1 in progress, the detailed design and implementation of the system will be launched. On the basis of the results of the mission study (Phases A and B1 activities in progress by the UIC Unit - Sheet S10-A), the next phases for the construction of the Italo-Israeli infrastructure are expected to start over the course of the three-year period. (Phases B2 / C / D / E1 in charge of the UOT unit) with full operations starting from 2025.
"On December 27, 2021 at 16.10.37 Moscow time from the Baikonur cosmodrome, it is planned to launch the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the Fregat upper stage and 36 OneWeb spacecraft on board," the state corporation's website says.
From the JWST Blog:The James Webb Space Telescope team is working a communication issue between the observatory and the launch vehicle system. This will delay the launch date to no earlier than Friday, Dec. 24. We will provide more information about the new launch date no later than Friday, Dec. 17.[dated Dec 14]
Seven launches with OneWeb spacecraft are tentatively planned for 2022, of which six are from Russian cosmodromes and one is from the Kuru cosmodrome.

The final two satellites [Pléiades Neo 5 and 6] in the constellation are currently in qualification tests ahead of their launch on an upgraded Vega C next year [2022], Lombard said.The four Pléiades Neo are identical to each other apart from the laser links that will be fitted onto the two coming next year, enabling the constellation to increase data transmission speeds for ordering and downloading imagery.

TASS reports that Roscosmos has 11 launches of foreign spacecraft in 2022. One of these launches is from Vostochny, three from Kourou, and the remaining seven from Baikonur. Seven of these launches are for OneWeb.https://tass.ru/kosmos/13313029
General Director of Glavkosmos Dmitry Loskutov (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation) talks about the company's contracts for 2022.***- How many OneWeb satellite launches are expected next year? Will the main part be from Baikonur? Will other spaceports be involved?- It is planned that in 2022 there will be 7 launches of OneWeb spacecraft, with one launch expected from the Guiana Space Center, and six more from the Baikonur cosmodrome. In accordance with the current contract for 2022, all OneWeb spacecraft launches were planned from the Baikonur cosmodrome, so far we are focusing on this.- When is the first launch of OneWeb satellites expected in 2022?- The first launch of OneWeb spacecraft is planned to be carried out from the Guiana Space Center in February 2022.- How many launches in general under the contracts of Glavkosmos are expected next year?- It is always difficult to talk about plans, especially the implementation of which largely depends on our foreign partners. At the moment, under current contracts, we are focusing on 11 launches of spacecraft for various purposes, of which one will be at the Vostochny cosmodrome, three are planned for implementation from the GKTs, one of which I have already mentioned is the launch of the OneWeb spacecraft. The majority - seven launches - we plan to carry out from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
