Even as we approach the final months of 2025, the space industry has shown no sign of slowing down. Amid the government shutdown, about 15,000 employees at NASA have been furloughed, but the agency is still expecting more launches this month. Among these is the much-anticipated mission of the escapade, which will carry twin satellites bound for Mars, and the second satellite in the Sentinel-6b series, which is scheduled to launch on a Spacex Rocket.
In the private sector, the pace is always high. Satellite launches continue unregulated, including another round of starlink launches by spacex. Meanwhile, space agencies across Europe and Asia are also preparing for this month’s launch.
Kicking off in November, on November 2, the Falcon 9 Rocket carried a satellite with NVIDIA H100 GPU to Orbia as part of the tested data center. The chip represents the fastest AI accelerator ever to fly into space. StarCloud, the StarCloud startup behind the project, aims to keep data centers up to date, reducing the energy and cooling needs of global facilities.
On the same day, India’s National Space Agency launched its heaviest satellite – weighing 4,400 kg (9,700 lb).
Here are some more space machines to watch in November:
Nov. 4: Arianepepace to launch the Ariane 6 Rocket. Arianepace’s Arianepace’s Arinepace will launch the Sentinel-1D Earth-Breaker Satellite, Part of the EU Cpenernicus Program, from the Guiana Space Center. This will be the fourth launch of the Ariane 6 Rocket, which is mostly built in France, followed by Germany and Italy.
Nov. 5: Spacex to launch Starlink 6-81 Mission. Spacex will perform a routine launch of a batch of starlink version 2 mini satellites into Low-Earth Orbit Aboard a Falcon 9 Rocket.
Nov. 5: Ula launches viasat satellite. United Launch Alliance will launch the Atlas v Rocket to launch the viaisat-3 flight, designed to provide an Ultra-High-High-Polity Service.
Nov. 5 (or the same day): Rocket Lab launched the “Nation God wanders” mission. Rocket Lab will launch the QPS satellite for the HASPS-14 mission in collaboration with the Japanese Institute of Q-SHUPUERS of Cheo Space, Inc. which corresponds to the world’s thinking.
TBD: Blue origin to launch NASA’s Mars Mission. Jeff Bezos’ blue origin is Expated to Lead the twin satellites of the NASA escapade (escape and plasma acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) Mission. The two spacecraft, called “blue gold” and “gold,” will spend eleven months on their journey to Mars’ orbit, studying how the solar wind interacts with the red planet’s atmosphere and magnetic field. The goal is to understand what the planet has lost by living on it. The mission has been delayed three times since August.
TBD: Spacex Launches Sentinel-6b. The Falcon 9 Rocket is loaded to launch the second satellite in the Sentinel-6 / Jason-CS Series, Sentinel-6b, NASA, will continue the collaboration of Global-High Height measurements. The first of the series – Sentinel-6 Michael FreIlich – launched on November 21, 2020.
