From Arianespace Vega Flight VV17 link

There are seven additional ESA missions (for nine satellites) in the Arianespace backlog.
  ::)

AFAIK the backlog. (7 launches; 9 payloads)
1) Ariane5 ECA, JWST, Okt.2021, Earth Sun L2 6500kg.
2&3) 2x Ariane 62 (/Soyuz), 2x Galileo Batch 3, MEO 22k km ? 2021? (& preorder for 4x A62, 2xGalileo)
4) Ariane5 ECA/A64 JUICE (Cosmic Vision L1), Mid. 2022, Jupiter (escape) 6000kg.
5) A62/Soyuz, EUCLID (Cosmic Vision M2), mid.2022, Earth-Sun L2 2160kg
6) Soyuz, Earthcare (Earth Explorer 6), May.2022, SSO 390km 2350kg
7) Vega, Biomass (Earth Explorer 7), Okt. 2022, SSO 666km 1200kg

Lot's of orders to finalize/ place; Sentinel 1C, 1D, 2C, 2D, 3C, 3D; >4x Galileo (2021-2027), Proba III, ...

Edit to add my try at the Vega (C) missions: (6x Vega, 4x VegaC to be launched)
VV17, Vega, Seosat Ingenio + Taranis, SSO 670km, 16 Nov. 2020
VV18, Vega,  ? Airbus Pleiades NEO 1 + SSMS HEX rideshare, SSO 550-610km, Q1 2021
VV19, Vega,  ? Airbus Pleiades NEO 2 + SSMS HEX rideshare, SSO 550-610km, Q2 2021

?,  Vega C maiden flight, Lares 2 + rideshare, LEO ~1450km 70deg. H2 2021
(maiden flight most likely isn't listed in the backlog, as are the Ariane 62 maiden flight)
?,  Vega C, SSMS, SSO 500-640km, Q4 2021
______
?, Vega, 3x CERES (120-450kg), LEO (Classified), 2021+
?, Vega, Biomass, SSO 666km 1200kg, Okt. 2022
?, Vega, ...

?, Vega C, CSG-2, <2230kg SSO, 2021+
?, Vega C, Airbus Pleiades NEO 3&4, SSO, 2021
?, Vega C, KOMPSAT-7, SSO 2000kg, Dec. 2021+

Other contracted payloads;
- THEOS-2 HR, SSO 620km 450kg, 2021
- NAOS, SSO 500km 600kg, 2022
Undisclosed Asia Pasific region

Cross-post from the VV17 live launch coverage:
The mission is lost. Did not have AOS. Degradation of the trajectory was observed after ignition of the AVUM stage. Apologies to customers. Need to analysis and understand the cause. Press conference tomorrow at 2 pm Paris time.

Support your local planetarium! (COVID-panic and forward: Now more than ever.) My current avatar is saying "i wants to go uppies!" Yes, there are God-given rights. Do you wish to gainsay the Declaration of Independence?

For our European spaceflight insiders and senexes...

I perceive no commonality between Vega/AVUM and Soyuz.

Will there be any delays of the next two launches from Kourou: both Soyuz?

I don't expect delays for Ariane and Soyuz as result of VV17.
But there will be delays for Vega and Vega C. 

I think the 2021 - 2021 part is duplicate in the launch schedule, could that be removed?
Another suggestion; could a header Predicted launches be added?

Is it likely that as a result of the VV17 launch failure we will see some Vega payloads moved over to Soyuz? Do you think that Arianespace will retire the standard version of Vega right now and future launches will be on Vega C?
Launches Seen: Atlas V OA-7, Falcon 9 Starlink 6-4, Falcon 9 CRS-28,

Why ? Vega-C is also based on AVUM for the 4th stage. And the first 3 stages of Vega, which worked well today, are all replaced on Vega-C.

June - LARES 2, CELESTA (ROBUSTA 1D) - Vega C (inaugural flight) - Kourou ZLV
Q2? - Pleiades Neo 2 + multiple sats - Vega (VV19) - Kourou ZLV (after 1st Vega C launch)
Q4 - SSMS flight 2 - Vega C - Kourou ZLV
TBD - CERES 1, CERES 2, CERES 3? - Vega - Kourou ZLV
TBD - OneWeb (x34) - Soyuz-ST-B/Fregat-MT (VS26) - Kourou ELS
TBD - OneWeb (x34) - Soyuz-ST-B/Fregat-MT (VS27) - Kourou ELS

Changes on November 17th

There may be customers, like the UAE re: Falcon Eye 2, that request a launch vehicle change from Vega (or Vega C) to Soyuz.

[CSG-2 >apparently< also changed from Vega C to Soyuz.  See up-thread here for the deduction.]

I don't know what the Soyuz and Fregat inventory at Kourou is like, or will be, to allow a customer to change LVs within the next year or two.

As of this posting, I doubt [many] European institutional launches would move payloads off of Vega/Vega C, [for political and/or economic reasons].

The next Vega launch is in February 2021.  The investigation and execution of findings MAY not delay the Vega and Vega C launches?

Not an expert; seeking clarification or correction.

Some thinks in this list are different than what's stated in Arianespace press releases.
CSG2 (Cosmo-skymed Second Generation) was initially planned to launch on a Vega C (EOportal), it's a 2,1mT payload to SSO. Somehow this has changed into a Soyuz launch, it would have considerable additional launch capability.
So if this change is true, there is the possibility to replace two Vega launches.

The Falcon Eye 2 launch also has a lot of additional capacity, but I think it's to late to change this manifest.
Possibly Airbus could move the four Pleiades NEO satellites to a single Ariane 62 launch. But that would mean another two year launch delay.

I want to add to Salo's post; that only EUMETSAT has ordered launches for MTG-S1 (Sentinel 4) [Ariane 5]
and EPS-SG (EUMETSAT Polar System - 2th Gen.) MetOP-A1 (Sentinel 5) [Soyuz]
ESA (for the EU) couldn't order the launches for Sentinel 1C, 2C and 3C; because the EU budget hasn't been finalized. (Brexit ...)

I edited/clarified my post above; some of which addresses the deduction up-thread of CSG-2 apparently switching LVs from Vega C to Ariane Soyuz.

Regarding CSG-2 ride-sharing on Soyuz in May 2021 with other payloads: CSG-1 rode with secondary payloads.  I imagine that there are multiple parameters to consider.  We, on the outside, will see.

Re: full Pleiades NEO quartet launching on Ariane 6.  My opinion: I doubt Airbus and France would choose to risk the entire 4 satellite constellation on one launch vehicle, new or not.

02 - March 21 - OneWeb (x34) - Soyuz-2-1b/Fregat-M  (ST28) - Baikonur, 31/6 -17:06:58.196[/color]

It is strange, since a Progress launch is scheduled for March 19 form the same pad.

This one is a 2020 launch, already occured ;)

Demand for residential broadband and government connectivity grew during the quarter, and should continue to climb once the first ViaSat-3 satellite, designed to beam a terabit or more of capacity over North and South America, is in orbit, he said.
...
That satellite should still launch by the end of 2021, he said, but lacks a more specific launch date until the payload shipment.

The second ViaSat-3 class satellite in that constellation will cover Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and is targeted for launch in 2022.

Viasat designs bus-sized, high-orbit Internet satellites. It is building a constellation of three new ones — each with a one terabyte of capacity — that will give the company a global Internet footprint. The first is slated to launch late next year and provide coverage across North and South America, delivering faster speeds than the current satellites and hefty data usage allowances.

The second is expected to be in orbit six months later with coverage across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The exact timing for the third ViaSat-3 over Asia is to be determined.
