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]

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.

Launch of a seventh new GPS-III satellite slated for next month was rescheduled for January 2025, the service said.
Space Force is projected to launch the 27th M-code capable GPS satellite in February 2025.
Because of that funding, we will be able to launch that Tranche One Tracking Layer starting in May of 2025.
SDA said it expects the T1 Tracking Layer's first plane to launch no later than April 30, 2025, and the subsequent planes to follow on one-month intervals.
[I]n the second stage of the CAS500 development project, CAS500-3 for space science and technology verification (the Ministry of Science and ICT), CAS500-4 for wide-area agricultural and forestry observation (the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Rural Development Administration, and the Korea Forest Service), and CAS500-5 for the observation of water resources (the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Environment) will be launched, one by one.
Orienspace is looking to launch its first liquid propellant rocket in 2025. The 60-meter-tall Gravity-2 will have a core stage and solid boosters. The rocket will use nine 100-ton-thrust Yuanli-85 gas generator kerosene engines for the first stage.

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.

Launch of a seventh new GPS-III satellite slated for next month was rescheduled for January 2025, the service said.
Space Force is projected to launch the 27th M-code capable GPS satellite in February 2025.
Because of that funding, we will be able to launch that Tranche One Tracking Layer starting in May of 2025.
SDA said it expects the T1 Tracking Layer's first plane to launch no later than April 30, 2025, and the subsequent planes to follow on one-month intervals.
[I]n the second stage of the CAS500 development project, CAS500-3 for space science and technology verification (the Ministry of Science and ICT), CAS500-4 for wide-area agricultural and forestry observation (the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Rural Development Administration, and the Korea Forest Service), and CAS500-5 for the observation of water resources (the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of Environment) will be launched, one by one.
Orienspace is looking to launch its first liquid propellant rocket in 2025. The 60-meter-tall Gravity-2 will have a core stage and solid boosters. The rocket will use nine 100-ton-thrust Yuanli-85 gas generator kerosene engines for the first stage.
