The 2024 list and lists for subsequent years contain planned launches, but statistics only include past launches. For the purpose of these lists, a spaceflight is defined as any flight that crosses the Kármán line, the FAI-recognized edge of space, which is 100 kilometres (62 miles) above mean sea level (AMSL). The timeline contains all ...
Fifth flight with short nozzle second stage aimed at lowering costs and improving launch cadence, but is only suitable for missions with lower performance requirements. This was the 61st launch of a Falcon rocket this year, the same number of launches carried out in all of 2022. 253 4 September 2023 02:47 [162] F9 B5 B1073.10: Kennedy, LC‑39A
SLS was considered as a potential launch vehicle for the proposed Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) space telescope, which will have a main segmented mirror between 8 and 16 meters in diameter, [20] making it 300 times more powerful than Hubble Space Telescope. [21] It would be deployed at the Earth-Sun L2 point in 2035. [20] [22] [23]
By five weeks post launch, 57 of the 60 satellites had been "healthy" while 3 were non-operational and derelict, but deorbited due to atmospheric drag. [32] All working satellites were intentionally deorbited by May 2021, and all remaining failed spacecraft re-entered by October 2022. [4] 2 Launch 1 [33] v1 2019-074 11 November 2019, 14:56 [34]
Landsat 9 is an Earth observation satellite launched on 27 September 2021 from Space Launch Complex-3E at Vandenberg Space Force Base on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle. [12] NASA is in charge of building, launching, and testing the satellite, while the United States Geological Survey (USGS) operates the satellite, and manages and distributes the data archive. [13]
