Notable missions

[edit]

Solar Orbiter

[edit]
This paragraph is an excerpt from Solar Orbiter.[edit]
The Solar Orbiter (SolO)[1] is a Sun-observing probe developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) with a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contribution. Solar Orbiter, designed to obtain detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and the nascent solar wind, will also perform close observations of the polar regions of the Sun which is difficult to do from Earth. These observations are important in investigating how the Sun creates and controls its heliosphere.

Mars 2020

[edit]
This paragraph is an excerpt from Mars 2020.[edit]
Mars 2020 is a NASA mission that includes the rover Perseverance, the now-retired small robotic helicopter Ingenuity, and associated delivery systems, as part of the Mars Exploration Program. Mars 2020 was launched on an Atlas V rocket at 11:50:01 UTC on July 30, 2020,[2] and landed in the Martian crater Jezero on February 18, 2021, with confirmation received at 20:55 UTC.[3] On March 5, 2021, NASA named the landing site Octavia E. Butler Landing.[4] As of 7 November 2024, Perseverance has been on Mars for 1321 sols (1358 total days; 3 years, 263 days).[5][6][7][8][9] Ingenuity operated on Mars for 1042 sols (1071 total days; 2 years, 341 days) before sustaining serious damage to its rotor blades, possibly all four, causing NASA to retire the craft on January 25, 2024.[10][11]

Landsat 9

[edit]
This paragraph is an excerpt from Landsat 9.[edit]
Landsat 9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle.[12] NASA is in charge of building, launching, and testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive.[13] It is the ninth satellite developed in the Landsat program, and eighth to reach orbit (Landsat 6 failed to reach orbit). The Critical Design Review (CDR) was completed by NASA in April 2018, and Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems (NGIS) was given the go-ahead to manufacture the satellite.[14]

Lucy

[edit]
This paragraph is an excerpt from Lucy (spacecraft).[edit]
Lucy is a NASA space probe on a twelve-year journey to eight different asteroids. It is slated to visit two main belt asteroids as well as six Jupiter trojans – asteroids that share Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, orbiting either ahead of or behind the planet.[15][16] All target encounters will be flyby encounters.[17] The Lucy spacecraft is the centerpiece of a US$981 million mission.[18] It was launched on 16 October 2021.

Boeing Crew Flight Test

[edit]
This paragraph is an excerpt from Boeing Crew Flight Test.[edit]
Boeing Crew Flight Test (Boe-CFT) was the first crewed mission of the Boeing Starliner capsule. Launched on 5 June 2024, the mission flew a crew of two NASA astronauts, Barry E. Wilmore and Sunita Williams, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to the International Space Station. The mission was meant to last eight days, ending on 14 June with a landing in the American Southwest. However, the capsule's thrusters malfunctioned as Starliner approached the ISS. After more than two months of investigation, NASA decided it was too risky to return Wilmore and Williams to Earth aboard Starliner. Instead, the Boeing spacecraft returned uncrewed on 7 September 2024, and the astronauts will ride down on the SpaceX Crew-9 spacecraft in February 2025.

Future launches

[edit]

In August 2021, ULA announced that Atlas V would be retired, and all 29 remaining launches had been sold.[56] As of August 2024, 15 launches remain, all of which are listed here: six Starliner missions, eight launches for Project Kuiper, and one launch for ViaSat.

NASA has placed firm orders for three Starliner flights once the capsule is certified for operational use. Under the terms of its contract with Boeing it has the option to purchase up to six operational flights, Starliner-1 through Starliner-6, however it is unclear if it will be possible to operate that many missions before the scheduled retirement of the ISS in 2030.[64]
