SpaceX Launch Schedule
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.

SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Vast’s first private crew rotation to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, and NASA's 6th Private Astronaut Mission to the ISS. The crew includes ESA/CNES astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who will serve as Commander for the mission, Czech astronaut Aleš Svoboda, and Greek astronaut Adrianos Golemis. The mission will carry 4 astronauts to and from the International Space Station for up to 2 weeks.
Low Earth Orbit Unknown F9 - Maiden Flight Landing Zone 40Falcon 9 Block 5 | Arabsat 7A
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Falcon 9 Block 5 | SICRAL 3B
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
SICRAL 3A and 3B are next generation communication satellites for the Italian Ministry of Defence, providing UHF and SHF communications services in replacement of SICRAL 2 and adding Ka-band capacities. One of the satellites will provide UHF and SHF band communications, while the other carries a Ka-band payload. These 2 geostationary satellites will provide confidential strategic and tactical communications, to support defense missions both in Italy and abroad, as well as supporting security, public rescue and civil protection services. The new SICRAL 3 system is designed to meet Italian defense communications and interoperability requirements.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Telesat Lightspeed 12
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Chinggis Sat
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
Chinggis Sat is a Mongolian national geostationary orbit telecommunications satellite for the Mongolia Ministry of Digital Development and Communications. Thales Alenia Space will be responsible for construction of the high-performance Ku-Band satellite. Once launched, the satellite will make high-speed internet available throughout Mongolia, including to those in rural areas and under-served nomadic communities, enabling easier and wider access to services such as tele-medicine, e-learning, e-government services and supporting the growth of high value add sectors of the economy. It will be positioned at the 113.6° E orbital slot and will be based on the space-proven, cutting-edge SpaceBus 4000 satellite bus.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | JSAT-32
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
JSAT-32 is a geostationary communication satellite for SKY Perfect JSAT. Operating in the Ku and Ka frequency bands, JSAT-32 will provide coverage over Japan and its surrounding seas, with newly added spot beams for mobility applications. JSAT-32 will serve as a future replacement for existing SKY Perfect JSAT satellites that provide communication and distribution services in Japan.
Geostationary Transfer OrbitFalcon 9 Block 5 | Telesat Lightspeed 13
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Skynet 6A
SpaceX | United States of AmericaCape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
The Skynet 6A gap-filler military communications satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space to cover the gap between the Britisch Skynet-5 network and its successor. Skynet 6A was solesourced from Airbus Defence and Space in 2017, but was not fully funded until July 2020. Aibus will build the Skynet-6A satellite in the United Kingdom and arrange a 2025 launch. RAL Space, a U.K. national laboratory, will test the all-electric satellite at its facility in Harwell. Skynet-6A, based on the Eurostar-Neo platform, is expected to provide communications services for the British military until at least 2040.
