๐ **Mission Name**: Soyuz 2.1a | Obzor-R No.1
๐๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-25T14:00:00Z
๐ **Rocket**: Soyuz 2.1a
๐ **Details**: The Russian Obzor-R satellite is a planned X-band radar earth observation satellite designed by TsSKB-Progress.
In 2012, the development of the Arkon-2M radar satellite was stopped and instead the development of the Obzor-R was initiated.
The satellite features the BRLK X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar as the imaging instrument with a ground resolution of 500 m.

๐๏ธ **Launch Date**: 2025-12-24T03:25:30Z
๐ **Rocket**: LVM-3 (GSLV Mk III)
๐ **Details**: AST SpaceMobileโs Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched.
This launch will feature a single satellite.
