Future projects
Ovzon-3 satellite
Ovzon is planning to procure and launch its own communications satellite Ovzon-3 with a mass of 1500 kg,[2] which was announced on 16 October 2018.[3] The original launch contract was attributed to SpaceX for a Falcon Heavy mission no earlier than the fourth quarter of 2020. The satellite would have been delivered directly into geostationary orbit.[4]
Ovzon announced 23 August 2019 that it had ended its agreement with SpaceX and would instead launch Ovzon-3 on an Arianespace Ariane 5 ECA launch vehicle in 2021.[5]
Delays in satellite manufacturing led Ovzon to shift the launch back to SpaceX as the Ariane 5 approached its retirement.[2] As of December 2023, Ovzon-3 is expected to launch on a Falcon 9 in early January 2024.[6]
