Falcon 9 Block 5 | Polaris Dawn
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD November, 2022
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
First mission of the privately funded Polaris program. The goal of this mission, lasting up to five days in orbit, is to fly higher than previous Dragon missions, perform the first-ever commercial EVA with SpaceX-designed spacesuits, orbit through portions of the Van Allen radiation belt, conduct medical research, and test laser-based Starlink communications in space.
Low Earth Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 2
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD November, 2022
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Tourism
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.
Low Earth Orbit
Falcon 9 Block 5 | PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem)
SpaceX | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD December, 2022
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Earth Science
PACE (Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem) is a NASA Earth observation satellite mission. It will make global ocean color measurements to provide extended data records on ocean ecology and global biogeochemistry (e.g., carbon cycle) along with polarimetry measurements to provide extended data records on clouds and aerosols.

SpaceX | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD December, 2022
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Communications
A batch of 34 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.
Polar OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Nova-C IM-2
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD December, 2022
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is the second mission of Nova-C lunar lander developed and built by Intuitive Machines. This time it carries a NASA payload called PRIME-1 (Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1), which is to be the first demonstration of in-situ resource utilization on the Moon. PRIME-1 consists of two instruments: TRIDENT drill and Msolo mass spectrometer.
