Falcon Heavy | GOES-U
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD April, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-S Series (GOES-S) is the second of the next generation of geostationary weather satellites. The four satellites of the series will provide advanced imaging with increased spatial resolution and faster coverage for more accurate forecasts, real-time mapping of lightning activity, and improved monitoring of solar activity.

TBD April, 2024
Falcon Heavy | Gateway PPE & HALO
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD May, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Human Exploration
The Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) are the foundational elements of NASA's lunar-orbiting space station "Gateway". The PPE is a 60-kilowatt class solar electric propulsion spacecraft that also will provide power, high-speed communications, attitude control and the capability to move the Gateway to different lunar orbits. The HALO is the pressurized living quarters where astronauts who visit the Gateway, often on their way to the Moon, will work. It will provide command and control and serve as the docking hub for the outpost. HALO will support science investigations, distribute power, provide communications for visiting vehicles and lunar surface expeditions, and supplement the life support systems aboard Orion, NASA’s spacecraft that will deliver Artemis astronauts to the Gateway.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 4
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD June, 2024
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
Atlas V N22 | Starliner-2
United Launch Alliance | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD September, 2024
Falcon Heavy | Europa Clipper
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Planetary Science
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 Heavy | VIPER
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD November, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Lunar Exploration
NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, is a mobile robot that will go to the South Pole of the Moon to get a close-up view of the location and concentration of water ice that could eventually be harvested to sustain human exploration on the Moon, Mars — and beyond. VIPER represents the first resource mapping mission on another celestial body.
