πŸ‡°πŸ‡Ώ Proton-M Blok DM-03 – Elektro-L No.5 – Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center (Government) — Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO) — Earth Science
81/24 (81P) (no Wikipedia article) — Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan

Elektro-L is a series of meteorological satellites developed for the Russian Federal Space Agency by NPO Lavochkin. They are designed to capture real-time images of clouds and the Earth's underlying surface, heliogeophysical measurements, collection and translating hydrometeorological and service data.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Vulcan – USSF-87ULA (Commercial) — Geostationary Orbit (Direct-GEO) — Government/Top Secret
Space Launch Complex 41 — Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
United States Space Force πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ (Government)

USSF-87 will launch two identical Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites GSSAP-7 and GSSAP-8 directly to a near-geosynchronous orbit approximately 36,000 km above the equator.

Data from the GSSAP will uniquely contribute to timely and accurate orbital predictions, further enabling space flight safety including satellite collision avoidance.
