JSAT-31

Falcon 9, provided by SpaceX, is set to launch JSAT-31 from Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA on December 31, 2028 at 12:00 AM UTC. SpaceX's Falcon 9 will carry the JSAT-31 satellite into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit. This orbit is targeted for the JSAT-31 mission, which involves a communications satellite operated by SKY Perfect JSAT. Falcon 9's launch from Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA will be a key event for the SpaceX launch provider.

Aboard the rocket, JSAT-31 is a geostationary communication satellite that will offer high speed broadband services over Japan, South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific islands, operating in both Ka and Ku frequency bands. SKY Perfect JSAT will operate the JSAT-31 satellite, leveraging its extreme flexibility to provide enhanced communications services throughout its lifespan in orbit, with the satellite relying on Space INSPIRE, a highly flexible and fully software-defined solution, to maximize the effective use of its resources. SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicle is scheduled to deliver the JSAT-31 payload to its targeted Geostationary Transfer Orbit.
