2026 in spaceflight

Timeline of spaceflight ←  2025 2027  →

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2026.

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

The first Indian crewed spaceflight, Gaganyaan-4, is planned for 2026. ^[1]

China plans to launch Chang'e 7 to explore the lunar south pole in late 2026. ^[2] The mission will include an orbiter, a relay satellite, a lander, a rover, and a mini-flying probe. ^[3]

China also plans to launch Xuntian, a large space telescope that will co-orbit with the Tiangong space station, in 2026.

Orbital launch statistics

By country

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.
