Spaceflight launch list
This article lists orbital and suborbital launches planned for the second half of the year 2025, including launches planned for 2025 without a specific launch date.
First operational Starliner mission, as part of the Commercial Crew Program. Double-booked with Crew-11; only one of these missions will fly in this timeslot.[2]
Named after American actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr. GPS III-7, originally scheduled to launch on a ULA Vulcan rocket, was reassigned to the Falcon 9 following uncertainties in Vulcan's readiness. As a result, GPS III-10, originally planned to launch on the Falcon 9, will now launch on Vulcan.
CLPS mission delivering payloads to the lunar south pole. ESA's Package for Resource Observation and in-Situ Prospecting for Exploration, Commercial exploitation, and Transportation (PROSPECT) payload will fly on this mission.
Seventh of 16 dedicated launches for Synspective's StriX constellation, and the first of a renewed contract of 10 additional dedicated launches signed in June 2024.[165]
The launch of this mission was originally planned with Roscosmos' Angara 1.2 rocket, but the South Korean Ministry of Science cancelled this contract due to sanctions against Russia and signed a launch contract with Arianespace.
First mission under the Lunar Surface Access Service (LSAS) program, a joint initiative between OHB and IAI. Will rideshare alongside a commercial geostationary satellite.[316]
Pathfinder is Ireland’s first commercial rocket launch.

Stich said that the first operational Starliner mission, called Starliner-1, is no longer scheduled to launch in February 2025 as previously planned. The Crew-10 mission will instead launch then [...] Starliner-1 has been rescheduled for August 2025, but he added that the mission will be "double booked" with Crew-11, presumably to protect for any additional delays with Starliner.

There are proposals for two small satellites with high and low inclination named 'Disturbed and quiet time Ionosphere-thermosphere System at High Altitudes (DISHA)' which aims to study the effects in the Ionosphere-Thermosphere system during space weather events and normal condition of the Sun. The proposed DISHA mission will yield critical information on the structures in plasma and neutrals that adversely affect communication and navigation during space weather events. This will eventually help in a better description of influence of space weather on space based technological systems and sub-systems.
