Upcoming missions

  1. Crew-9

    25.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    SpaceX Crew-9 is the ninth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

  2. OneWeb 20

    30.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

    A batch of 20 satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, which is intended to provide global Internet broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites (of which 60 are spares), around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit.

  3. Integrated Flight Test 5

    30.09.2024 / Starship / Orbital Launch Mount A, SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA

    Fifth test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle.

  4. 4x Astranis MicroGEO

    30.09.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    Four Astranis MicroGEO communications satellite inserted in a custom geostationary orbit, from where they conduct on-orbit maneuvers to reach their individual slots.

  1. Hera

    07.10.2024 / Falcon 9 / Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral, FL, USA

    Hera is a space mission in development at the European Space Agency in its Space Safety program. Its primary objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid in a colliding trajectory with Earth. It will measure the size and the morphology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid, which will allow measuring the efficiency of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also analyze the expanding debris cloud caused by the impact.
