Florida Launch Schedule
Upcoming launches out of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral AFB
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Nova-C IM-2
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD June, 2023
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.

Falcon Heavy | Psyche & EscaPADE
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD October, 2023
Status: To Be Determined
Mission: Planetary Science
Psyche is a NASA interplanetary mission to visit the main belt asteroid of the same name, 16 Psyche. Spacecraft will take 4 years and one Mars flyby to reach the asteroid, which is of particular interest due to being comprised mostly of iron and nickel. Psyche is theorized to be a remnant of an early planet's core, and may offer insights into how solar system formed and evolved. The mission is led by Arizona State University, with NASA JPL being responsible for mission management and operations. This launch also includes a secondary payload: Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), which will study the Martian atmosphere.
