2025 in spaceflight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2025.

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

NASA plans to launch the first two components of the Lunar Gateway,[1] a key part of its efforts to return to the Moon and a stepping stone for crewed missions to Mars in the 2030s.[2]

ESA plans to conduct an orbital test flight of the Space Rider uncrewed spaceplane in the third quarter of the year.[3]

The first Indian crewed spaceflight, Gaganyaan 3, is planned for 2025.[4]

China plans to launch the Tianwen-2 (ZhengHe) asteroid sample-return and comet probe[5] and the Chang'e 6 sample-return mission.[6]

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.[7][8]

Orbital launch statistics[edit]

By country[edit]

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.
