The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is the future of Landsat satellites. It will continue to obtain valuable data and imagery to be used in agriculture, education, business, science, and government.

The Landsat Program provides repetitive acquisition of high resolution multispectral data of the Earth's surface on a global basis. The data from the Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen from space. It is a record unmatched in quality, detail, coverage, and value.

The LDMC satellite is scheduled to b e launched in 2013.

ExoMars (Exobiology on Mars) is a planned Mars mission to search for possible biosignatures of Martian life, past or present. This astrobiological mission is currently (September 2012) under development by the European Space Agency (ESA) with likely collaboration by the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos).

The program includes several spacecraft elements to be sent to Mars on two launches. An orbiter and a stationary lander is planned for 2016, and a Russian lander to deliver the rover is planned for 2018.

TerraSAR-X, a German Earth observation satellite, is a joint venture being carried out under a public-private-partnership between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and EADS Astrium; the exclusive commercial exploitation rights are held by the geo-information service provider Infoterra. TerraSAR-X was launched on June 15, 2007 and has been in operational service since January 2008. Following the launch of a second sister satellite, TanDEM-X in early 2010, the two satellites act as a pair.

Surrey Satellite Technology US LLC (SST-US) is a Delaware registered company, USA, with its principal offices located in Englewood, Colorado. The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SSTL, was established in 2008 to address the United States market and its customers for the provision of small satellite solutions, applications and services. 

SST-US, albeit foreign owned, has been structured and organized to be an American company under American control and operation.    

In the short term, while the full United States capability is being established, SST-US will contract SSTL and its other subsidiaries for provision of specific products and services. By 2013 SST-US plans to be self-sufficient in the manufacture, integration, test, launch and operation of small satellite solutions.

Surrey Satellite Technology US LLC is an wholly owned subsidiary of Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, a British company within the EADS Astrium NV group.

Dawn is a robotic NASA spacecraft tasked with the exploration and study of Vesta and Ceres, the two largest members of the asteroid belt.

Launched on September 27, 2007, the probe entered orbit around Vesta on July 16, 2011.

Dawn left Vesta on September 5, 2012, on a course for Ceres, which it is scheduled to reach in February 2015.

Managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Dawn is NASA’s first purely exploratory mission to use ion propulsion. The spacecraft was constructed with some European cooperation, with components contributed by partners in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Dawn was the first spacecraft to visit Vesta, and is scheduled to be the first to visit Ceres. If it successfully reaches Ceres, it will also be the first spacecraft to orbit two separate extra terrestrial bodies, using ion thrusters to travel between its targets. Previous multi-target missions using conventional drives, such as the Voyager program, were restricted to flybys.

Solar Orbiter (SolO) is a planned Sun-observing satellite, under development by the European Space Agency (ESA). The main mission scenario is a launch by an Atlas V from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida in January 2017. 

SolO is intended to perform detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and nascent solar wind, and perform close observations of the polar regions of the Sun, which is difficult to do from Earth, both serving to answer the question 'How does the Sun create and control the heliosphere?'
