SpaceX is planning to fly the Transporter 3 mission in early 2022. It is a rideshare mission to sun-synchronous orbit with various payloads from commercial and government customers.

An Atlas V is set to fly the USSF-8 mission, which includes two satellites for the Space Force's Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program. The rocket will be the first, and only, to fly in the 511 configuration, meaning it has a five-meter payload faring, a single solid rocket motor and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is set to send the second COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG 2) radar surveillance spacecraft into orbit for the Italian space agency.

United Launch Alliance is contracted to fly NASA and NOAA's GOES-T weather satellite into space atop an Atlas V rocket in the "541" configuration, meaning it will have a five-meter payload fairing, four solid rocket motors and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.

SpaceX is set to launch a batch of Starlink internet satellites to grow its megaconstellation. Liftoff is to occur atop a Falcon 9 rocket.

SpaceX is set to launch another batch of Starlink internet satellites atop the company's Falcon 9 rocket.

Launching atop an Atlas 5 rocket in an "N22" variant* will be Boeing's second uncrewed Starliner test mission to the International Space Station, OFT-2. This was delayed from summer 2021 because of a problem with thrusters on the spacecraft's service module. *The variant designation means it will have no payload fairing, two solid rocket motors and two engines on the Centaur upper stage. Note: The image used in this entry shows the 421 variant.
