  2. Artemis III

    A crewed rehearsal for the Moon, flown in Earth orbit

    Open mission

    Artemis III is NASA's planned 14-day crewed flight in low Earth orbit, set for summer 2027, in which an Orion crew of four will dock with test versions of the Blue Origin and SpaceX lunar landers. It replaced the original plan to land on the Moon, and NASA now aims to put astronauts on the surface with Artemis IV in 2028.

    The first Starship V3 launch from Pad 2

    Open mission

    Starship Flight 12 was the first flight of the Starship version 3 vehicle, Booster 19 and Ship 39, from the new Pad 2 at Starbase, on 22 May 2026. The ship lost one vacuum engine on ascent but reached space and deployed its payloads, and the booster shut down early on its boostback burn.

    Hubble Space Telescope

    The telescope that was fixed in orbit

    Open mission

    The Hubble Space Telescope was launched on the shuttle Discovery on 24 April 1990 and found to have a flawed main mirror within weeks. Astronauts repaired it in orbit in 1993, and over four more servicing missions turned it into one of the most productive observatories in the history of astronomy.
