About this moment

Falcon 9 Block 5: Inmarsat-7 F1 (GX-7) is expected Q4 2026. The exact day has not been announced yet.

SpaceX is preparing to launch Inmarsat-7 F1 (GX-7) on a Falcon 9 Block 5 from Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA. Inmarsat-7 is the seventh generation of satellites for the London-based global mobile satellite communications operator Inmarsat. The three satellites of the series - GX-7, 8 & 9 - will have an improved fully reconfigurable Ka-band payload for Inmarsat's Global Xpress services. They are optimized for real-time mobility and feature thousands of dynamically-formed beams that direct capacity with laser-like precision over high-demand areas, to provide HTS (High Throughput) broadband connectivity for the mobility market. The satellites will be based on Airbus’ new standard and fully reconfigurable satellite product line OneSat. Fully reconfigurable and featuring on board processing and active antennas, the three Ka-band spacecraft will be able to adjust their coverage, capacity and frequency. Launch is expected in Q4 2026 and no firm date has been announced yet.
