Upcoming launches out of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral AFB
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 4
SpaceX | USACape 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.

SpaceX | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD October, 2024
Falcon Heavy | VIPER
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD November, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
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.
Lunar Orbit Unknown FH - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 2 Unknown FH - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 1 Unknown FH - Maiden Flight UnknownFalcon 9 Block 5 | 425 Project Flight 3
SpaceX | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD November, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Note: Name of payload is provisional. Third launch of an ultimately 5 reconnaissance satellites for the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), with 1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite on this launch. They will be launched to low Earth orbit between 600 and 700 km by 2025, enabling South Korea’s military to observe the nuclear-armed neighbor’s key military facilities every two hours with 30-50 centimeters resolution imagery, according to a 2019 report produced by the Korea Institute of S&T Evaluation and Planning. The project is lead by the Korean Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), with input from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), Hanwha Systems and Thales Alenia Space.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dragon CRS-2 SpX-32
SpaceX | USAKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
TBD December, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
32nd 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.

TBD December, 2024
Falcon 9 Block 5 | OSAM-2
SpaceX | USACape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD December, 2024
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
OSAM-2 is a mission to demonstrate the ability of small spacecraft to manufacture and assemble spacecraft components in low-Earth orbit. Once it’s positioned in low-Earth orbit, the spacecraft will 3D-print two beams that extend 32 feet (10 meters) out from each side of the spacecraft. As manufacturing progresses, each beam will unfurl two solar arrays that generate as much as five times more power than traditional solar panels on spacecraft of similar size.
