Delayed to Early 2026.ESA Navigation at 2025 Ministerial Council [Nov. 19]QuoteESA will soon launch the first two Celeste (LEO-PNT) In-Orbit Demonstrator (IOD) satellites to showcase the benefits of low Earth orbit satellites for positioning, navigation and timing (LEO-PNT), adding a powerful new multi-layer dimension to Europe’s satellite navigation. The proposed Celeste (LEO-PNT) In-Orbit Preparatory phase will focus on:maturing enabling technology building blocks (for example, integrated digital and RF modules and antennas, miniaturised clocks),driving industrialisation across Europe to boost future production and reduce cost,validating technologies through in-orbit experimentation.The ultimate objective is to prepare a LEO-PNT future operational system for the European Union that adds a new layer to the European PNT ecosystem, with Galileo at its core.In parallel, the programme aims to open new commercial opportunities worldwide, ultimately boosting innovation and European leadership for future market opportunities.European satellite navigation opens new chapter at ESA’s Ministerial Council [Nov. 27]QuoteWhat comes next?The first two Celeste demonstrator satellites, scheduled to launch early next year, will secure and test the assigned frequencies during a six-month experimentation phase. Following a formal review of the results, ESA foresees to engage user communities and stakeholders in third-party experimentations to test the functionalities and demonstrate services capabilities in representative environments.Now that the funding for the preparatory phase has been secured, a dedicated Industry Day will be organised early next year to showcase the European PNT ecosystem, outline the new opportunities and present the ESA-EU coordinated roadmap. This will be followed by an invitation to tender for this phase’s industrial activities, focusing on the development of enabling technologies, industrialisation efforts, and the deployment of a set of in-orbit validation satellites.

With a key Russian launch pad out of service, NASA is accelerating the launch of two Cargo Dragon spaceships in order to ensure that astronauts on board the International Space Station have all the supplies they need next year.According to the space agency’s internal schedule, the next Dragon supply mission, CRS-34, is moving forward one month from June 2026 to May. And the next Dragon supply mission after this, CRS-35, has been advanced three months from November to August.

On Thursday, December 11 at 5:01 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 29 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.This was the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-8, Polaris Dawn, CRS-31, Astranis: From One to Many, IM-2, Commercial GTO-1, and now 10 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

At the other end of the size spectrum is the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. NASA announced Dec. 4 it had completed assembly of the telescope, now entering final testing at the Goddard Space Flight Center before shipment to the Kennedy Space Center next summer. Launch is scheduled as soon as next fall on a Falcon Heavy.“It’s going to launch in 2026,” he said. “And when it does, it will do things on a routine basis that are right now impossible.”Domagal-Goldman also expects to move forward next year with a call for proposals for the next astrophysics Small Explorer, or SMEX, mission. NASA released a draft announcement of opportunity in January but delayed the final version for a year in April.“We are still planning for that one-year delay. We haven’t changed anything,” he said. “We’re still hoping for a final draft to be released in April of next year.”He suggested that NASA will try to accelerate the mission’s development timeline. Under the January draft, NASA expected to select missions in spring 2027 for launch by spring 2031.
Unclear:TBD - CINEMA (mission candidate) - NLS III - TBD
The CINEMA mission’s constellation of nine small satellites will investigate the convective mystery using a combination of instruments — an energetic particle detector, an auroral imager, and a magnetometer — on each spacecraft in a polar low Earth orbit. By relating the energetic particles observed in this orbit to simultaneous auroral images and local magnetic field measurements, CINEMA aims to connect energetic activity in Earth’s large-scale magnetic structure to the visible signatures like aurora that we see in the ionosphere. The mission has been awarded approximately $28 million to enter Phase B. The total cost of the mission, not including launch, will not exceed $182.8 million. Phase B will last 10 months, and if selected, the mission would launch no earlier than 2030.
