National Aeronautics and Space Administration | SLS Block 1 | Artemis II Rocket Launch

Artemis II is the first crewed mission as part of the Artemis program. Artemis II will send a crew of 4 – 3 Americans and 1 Canadian around the moon and return them back to Earth.

The mission will test the core systems of NASA’s Orion spacecraft including the critical life support system, among other systems which could not be tested during Artemis I due to the lack of crew onboard.

SpaceX | Falcon 9 Block 5 | Crew-12 Rocket Launch

SpaceX Crew-12 is the twelfth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

United Launch Alliance | Atlas V N22 | Starliner-1 Rocket Launch

Starliner-1 is the first operational flight of a Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Due to problems with the Starliner spacecraft’s RCS attitude control system during the Crew Flight Test mission in 2024, this mission has been re-scoped to not carry a crew by NASA. It will instead deliver necessary cargo to the orbital laboratory and allow in-flight validation of the system upgrades implemented following the Crew Flight Test mission last year.
