Fusion Space is targeting December 11th at 21:00 GMT for the final launch of F2RE from Pad 01B at the National Space Center in Euresia
This will be the fourth and final flight for this first stage (B2010), which will be expended in the ocean to validate F2LG software.
Due to major operational changes within Fusion Space involving a PC transition taking place in two weeks, the difficult decision has been made to make this launch of F2RE its last.
In addition, there will also be a break period in operations after this launch to transition necessary crafts, begin producing essential ground infrastructure, install mods, learn new editors and set up a new workflow.
Fusion Space could return anywhere between February or March 2026, and we hope to see you then!
Junolink Satellites on F2RE
Junolink Payload
Junolink is a communications network optimised for use by spacecraft and launch vehicles. The V1 network provides global coverage of Droo and spacecraft orbiting as low as 5000km.
The Junolink XL network, scheduled to debut in 2026, will be located at various orbital heights to enable coverage of the entire Droo system, eliminating all dead zones which will be critical for surface bases and landers.
