(The source of information for satellites 2021-027AN to 2021-070A is the ESA/ESOC DISCOS database.) As we noted in the last issue, the launch lists produced in previous issues of Space Research Today have increased in size dramatically in the last year or two, mainly due to the launch of satellite mega-constellations. Rather than take up such a large fraction of the journal, we now continue to provide the official launch lists through the COSPAR website (https://cosparhq.cnes.fr/) and will provide, here, a summary. Naturally, this is a selective run through some of the launches in the reporting period. For full details readers should visit the COSPAR website at https://cosparhq.cnes.fr/.
