Atlantic Constellation Pathfinder
Atlantic Constellation Pathfinder
| UKSA | Approved | Jul 2026 | Jul 2031 | The Atlantic Constellation aims to provide more frequent coverage of European territories that could be affected by natural disasters or climate change and erosion, as well as support commercial enterprises such as agriculture. The programme differs from existing European constellation satellites such as Copernicus in that it would reduce revisit times from 3 days to 24 hours. This Pathfinder will demonstrate the key technologies asociated with the project such as enhanced AI processesing and inter satellite links allowing tasking even when not above a ground station. | MSI (Atlantic Constellation PF) | Type: Sun-synchronous

Biomass
Biomass
| ESA | Approved | Mar 2025 | Oct 2030 | Biomass will provide global maps of forest biomass and height (at 200 m resolution) and forest disturbance (at 50 m resolution) every 6 months. This information will lead to a better understanding of the state of Earth’s forests, how they are changing over time, and advance our knowledge of the carbon cycle. | P-Band SAR | Type: Sun-synchronous

CLARREO Pathfinder-on-ISS
International Space Station/Climate Absolute Radiance & Reflectivity Observatory Pathfinder
| NASA | Approved | Dec 2025 | Dec 2030 | 1 year nominal mission. The goal of the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) mission is to improve our understanding of climate change by providing high accuracy measurements of the change in key climate variables over decadal timescales. CLARREO Pathfinder is a technical demonstration on the ISS and a major step in reducing the cost and technical risk for these high accuracy measurements. | CLARREO Pathfinder Reflected Solar | Type: Inclined, non-sun-synchronous
