Florida Launch Schedule
Upcoming launches out of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral AFB
SLS Block 1 | Artemis III
National Aeronautics and Space Administration | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Artemis III is the second crew mission as part of the Artemis program. Artemis III will send a crew of 4 on a Low Earth Orbit mission, with the Orion rendezvous and dock with one or both commercial lunar landers in development by SpaceX and Blue Origin, performing in-space tests of the docked vehicles, integrated checkout of life support, communications, and propulsion systems, as well as tests of the new Extravehicular Activity (xEVA) suits.
Low Earth Orbit
Starship | SpaceX HLS LEO Demo
SpaceX | United States of AmericaKennedy Space Center, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Starship HLS pathfinder spacecraft in support of NASA's Artemis III mission in Low Earth Orbit will be a Version 3 vehicle equipped with a docking mechanism, but with no crew cabin or environmental control systems on board. This Starship HLS will launch after the Artemis III Orion has launched into LEO aboard SLS, and has completed its demonstrations with Blue Origin's Blue Moon lander. Once docked, Orion and Starship will spend about a day connected for checkouts and testing.
