LVM-3 | Chandrayaan-4 First Launch
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
TBD December, 2027
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chandrayaan-4 is a planned lunar sample-return mission of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and will be the fourth mission of its Chandrayaan programme. The mission consist of five modules, namely the DM (Descender Module), AM (Ascender Module), TM (Transfer Module), RM (Re-entry Module) and PM (Propulsion Module). The planned mission life is 1 lunar day and the landing site will be near the Lunar South Pole. The first launch will lift the DM (Descender Module) and AM (Ascender Module) to orbit.

Falcon Heavy | Dragonfly
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD July, 2028
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Dragonfly is NASA's 4th New Frontiers program mission that will send a robotic rotorcraft to fly within the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan to sample materials and determine surface composition in different geologic settings, advancing humanity's search for the building blocks of life. The craft is a large quadcopter with double rotors with mass of about 875 kg, featuring rotors of 1.35 m in diameter. It can fly through several kilometers within an hour and will perform 1 flight per Titan day (~16 Earth days). During the planned 3.3-year mission, Dragonfly is expected to cover distance up to several hundred km. Dragonfly will use a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG) to power its instruments. The planned science instrument suite is: * DragonCam: Camera Suite * DrACO: Drill for Acquisition of Complex Organics * DraMS: Mass Spectrometer * DraGNS: Gamma-ray and Neutron Spectrometer * DraGMet: Geophysics and Meteorology
