Upcoming Launch Descriptions
Boeing Starliner OFT-2 | ULA | Atlas V N22
May 19, 2022 @ 6:54 PM EDT
SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
After a delay due to corrosion within the Starliner’s service module propulsion system, Boeing is set to launch the CST-100 Starliner capsule to the International Space Station for the second uncrewed demonstration mission. Should this mission be successful, we could see the crewed demonstration flight, CFT, by the end of 2022.
Transporter-5 | SpaceX | Falcon 9
NET May 25, 2022
SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
SpaceX will launch another batch of rideshare payloads to a sun-synchronous orbit from Florida. Details about the payloads are not available at the time of writing. It is expected for the booster to return to land at LZ-1.
CRS-25 | SpaceX | Falcon 9
NET June 7, 2022
LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida
SpaceX will launch a Cargo Dragon capsule to the International Space Station from LC-39A. This will carry food, supplies, science, and other essential items to the station.
Artemis I | NASA | Space Launch System
June 2022
LC-39B, Kennedy Space Center, Florida
NASA’s maiden launch of the Space Launch System will carry an Orion spacecraft around the Moon and back to validate the launch and life support systems. If successful, this mission will put NASA on a path to return humanity to the Moon, this time to stay and land the first woman and person of color on another celestial body.
Psyche | SpaceX | Falcon Heavy
NET August 1, 2022
LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida
SpaceX will launch NASA’s Psyche spacecraft into deep space with its Falcon Heavy rocket. This will be the first Heavy launch with dual booster landings at sea with the center core being expended. Psyche will visit the asteroid Psyche (the spacecraft’s namesake) to explore the origins of planetary cores. The Spacecraft will fly by Mars in May 2023 with an estimated arrival date at Psyche in January 2026.
