Overview

Astronomy and astrophysics

In January, [1] [2] [3] NASA plans to launch the small UV telescope Aspera designed to map hot gas in the circumgalactic and intergalactic medium of nearby galaxies. [4]

In early 2027, ESA plans to launch the PLATO space telescope for discovery and characterization of exoplanets [5] together with Europe's first stand-alone deep space CubeSat, the space weather mission HENON. [6]

In early 2027, China plans to launch Xuntian, a large space telescope that will co-orbit with the Tiangong space station. [7] [8]

In mid-2027, ESA plans to launch the CubeSpec satellite for testing a low-cost small satellite platform for long-term spectroscopic monitoring of stars from space on the specific case of asteroseismology of massive stars. [9]

China plans to launch the eXTP X-ray observatory. [10]

Lunar exploration

In early 2027, NASA and Blue Origin plan to launch Blue Moon Pathfinder Mission 1, the first uncrewed mission of the Blue Moon Mark 1 intended to test various technologies needed for future crewed Lunar landers. [11] [12]

In early 2027, [13] NASA and Intuitive Machines plan to launch IM-3 aiming to land at Reiner Gamma. [14]

In early 2027, [15] [16] [17] [18] China plans to launch Chang'e 7 to explore the lunar south pole. [19] [20] [21] The mission will include an orbiter, a relay satellite, a lander, a rover, and a mini-flying probe. It will attempt to land on the rim of Shackleton crater at the Lunar south pole. [22]

In 2027, Turkish Space Agency plans to launch AYAP-1, the country's first lunar mission. [23]

In 2027, [24] NASA and Firefly Aerospace plan to launch Blue Ghost Mission 2 aiming to land on the far side of the Moon. The mission also aims to deliver the ESA's communication satellite Lunar Pathfinder to Lunar orbit. [25] [26] [27]

Human spaceflight

In 2027, NASA is expected to launch the Artemis III mission, which will send astronauts to low Earth orbit and conduct docking tests with an HLS lander.

The American company Vast plans to launch the first ever commercial space station (Haven-1) in 2027. [28]

The first Indian crewed spaceflight, Gaganyaan-4, is planned for 2027. [29]

Satellite technology

In 2027, ESA plans to launch the short-lived Draco mission that will use a small space capsule to monitor the breakup process of a satellite reentering Earth atmosphere. This is part of the agency's space sustainability-related plans to build more "demisable" satellites. [30] [31]

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.
