2027 in spaceflight

Timeline of spaceflight ←  2026 2028  →

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2027.

In 2027, NASA is expected to launch the Artemis III mission, which will land astronauts near the south pole of the Moon. It is expected to be the first mission to land humans on the Moon since 1972.

NASA also 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]

China plans to launch the eXTP X-ray observatory. ^[3]

A DARPA program aims to launch the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) nuclear thermal rocket. ^[4]

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope aims to launch. ^[5]

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.
