Falcon 9 Block 5 | Starlink Group 10-5
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD August, 2024
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Galileo L13 (FOC FM26 & FM28)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Two satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system. Originally planned for launch on Soyuz-ST and then Ariane 6 but both were unavailable. Galileo provides Europe with an alternative to the American GPS and Russian GLONASS constellations, but will be interoperable with both systems.
Medium Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Atlantic Ocean
Vulcan VC2S | Certification Flight 2
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
New Glenn | EscaPADE (Maiden flight)
Blue Origin | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Maiden flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle carrying the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), a dual-spacecraft mission to study ion and sputtered escape from Mars. The spacecrafts' scientific goals are to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars' hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows; understand how energy and momentum are transported from the solar wind through Mars' magnetosphere; and understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere.
Mars Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dragon CRS-2 SpX-31
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
31st commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station operated by SpaceX. The flight will be conducted under the second Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA. Cargo Dragon 2 brings supplies and payloads, including critical materials to directly support science and research investigations that occur onboard the orbiting laboratory.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Hera
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
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.
Asteroid
Falcon Heavy | Europa Clipper
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
October 10, 2024
Status: To Be Confirmed
Mission:
Europa Clipper is the first dedicated mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. Mission is developed by NASA and comprises of an orbiter spacecraft, which, while in orbit around Jupiter, will perform numerous flybys over Europa. Europa Clipper payload suit included high-resolution cameras and spectrometers for imaging Europa's surface and thin atmosphere, an ice-penetrating radar to search for subsurface water, and a magnetometer and gravity measurements to measure the moon's magnetic field and unlock clues about its ocean and deep interior.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 4
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is a Crew Dragon flight for a private company Axiom Space. The mission will carry a professionally trained commander alongside three private astronauts to and from the International Space Station. This crew will stay aboard space station for at least eight days.
