Florida Launch Schedule
Upcoming launches out of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral AFB
Falcon 9 Block 5 | MRV-1
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD March, 2025
Vulcan VC6L | Project Kuiper (Vulcan #1)
United Launch Alliance | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD March, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Project Kuiper is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude. 45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.
Low Earth OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | IMAP & others
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD May, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) is a NASA mission to study interactions between solar wind and local interstellar medium. Carrying a suite of 10 scientific instruments, IMAP is able to investigate how particles are accelerated, determine their composition, as well as help to advance space weather forecasting models. IMAP launch also includes several secondary payloads from NASA, which are: a small lunar orbiter called Lunar Trailblazer, space weather satellite SWFO-L1, GLIDE mission to study far ultraviolet emission in exosphere and a solar sail mission Solar Cruiser.
Heliocentric L1Falcon 9 Block 5 | Bandwagon 4 (Dedicated Mid-Inclination Rideshare)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD May, 2025
Falcon 9 Block 5 | TSIS-2
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD May, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor 2 (TSIS-2) is a satellite designed by NASA to measure the Sun's energy input to Earth. TSIS-2 comprises two instruments, the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM), and the spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM). TIM measures total brightness and SIM measures spectral irradiance over a wavelength range that includes 96% of the energy in the solar spectrum. Both instruments are similar to those used for the TSIS-1 mission onboard the International Space Station.
Sun-Synchronous OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Project Kuiper (Falcon 9 #1)
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2025
Falcon 9 Block 5 | SpainSat NG II
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2025
New Glenn | EscaPADE
Blue Origin | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2025
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Maiden flight of Blue Origin's New Glenn launch vehicle carrying the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE), a dual-spacecraft mission to study ion and sputtered escape from Mars. The spacecrafts' scientific goals are to understand the processes controlling the structure of Mars' hybrid magnetosphere and how it guides ion flows; understand how energy and momentum are transported from the solar wind through Mars' magnetosphere; and understand the processes controlling the flow of energy and matter into and out of the collisional atmosphere.

Falcon 9 Block 5 | Axiom Space Mission 4
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral, FL, USA
TBD June, 2025
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.
