2025 in spaceflight

2025 in spaceflight
The Artemis 2 mission is scheduled to carry four astronauts to perform a flyby of the Moon in 2025.

Spaceflight in 2025 promises to follow the 2020s trend of record breaking orbital launches and increased developments in lunar, Mars and low-earth orbit exploration.

NASA plans to launch the Artemis 2 mission on the Space Launch System, sending astronauts around the Moon on a ten-day lunar flyby.

ESA plans to conduct an orbital test flight of the Space Rider uncrewed spaceplane in the third quarter of the year.[1]

The first Indian crewed spaceflight, Gaganyaan-4, is planned for 2025.

China plans to launch the Tianwen-2 (ZhengHe) asteroid sample-return and comet probe.[2]

As of 2021, the mission of the Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter is targeted to end no later than September 2025. NASA has stated that the mission could end sooner depending on potential damage from the system's radiation belts during fly-bys of Europa in 2022, and Io in 2023 and 2024.[3][4]

Kuiper Systems, Amazon’s satellite internet subsidiary, ramp up launches for its constellation of over 3,000 satellites. The launches will occur on Ariane 6, Vulcan Centaur and New Glenn launch vehicles.[5]

Vast plans to launch the first ever commercial space station in 2025.[6]

Blue Origin plans to launch their MK1 Lunar Lander as a "pathfinder" mission in 2025.[7]
