    Ariane 64: GovSat-2 is expected 2029. The exact day has not been announced yet.

    Arianespace is preparing to launch GovSat-2 on an Ariane 64 from Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. GovSat-2 is the second satellite for GovSat, the public-private partnership between SES and the Luxembourg government. The satellite is designed to address the needs of defense users at the highest Security and Service Assurance Level, adding new ultra-high frequency (UHF) channels in the X- and military Ka-bands, and will include other security features such as dedicated hardening, an advanced anti-jamming system, and embedded geo-location. GovSat-2 will be positioned over the European satellite arc, joining GovSat-1 in augmenting reliable connectivity services for government customers over the region. The satellite will be built by Thales Alenia Space on its Spacebus 4000B2 platform. Launch is expected in 2029 and no firm date has been announced yet.
