In this post, we’ll go over each agency’s plans and give you an idea of what to expect from each one. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to lift-off!
September 10, 2022 – SpaceX Falcon 9, Starlink 4–2 & BlueWalker 3
This will be a SpaceX Falcon launch carrying the Starlink communications satellites and BlueWalker’s third-generation GPS satellite. The Falcon has been used for dozens of launches, including many high-profile missions like delivering supplies to the International Space Station.
September 12, 2022 – SpaceX Falcon 9, Starlink 4–34 (CRS-22)
This launch will be the first Starlink mission to reuse a Falcon first stage booster. The rocket will carry 58 Starlink satellites and two BlackSky Global satellites to low Earth orbit.
September 19, 2022 – Blue Origin New Shepard NS-15 (BNS-15)
This will be the fifteenth launch of Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital rocket. The mission will carry eight NASA payloads to space and Blue Origin’s technology demonstrator payloads.
NET September 19, 2022 – Space Launch System, Artemis 1 (Orion Crew Capsule Test Flight)
This launch will be an uncrewed test flight of NASA’s new Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion crew capsule. The mission will send the Orion capsule around the moon and back, testing both the SLS and Orion for future crewed missions to deep space.
ROCKET LAUNCH: NET October 3, 2022, | NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5
Mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This will be the fifth launch of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the first to use a reused Falcon rocket and crew capsule.
