Space agencies from around the world launch 244 successful missions into orbit or space in 2024, which is The most in history. The United States led more than half of the launches. There are already plans to release dozens of spaces in 2025.
Want to see the lift? Many of them may be Streaming by NASA Or from YouTube Channel Single companies like SpaceX. Space launches are picky, and dates usually change with little warning. However, if you want to follow the sky in 2025, the list below should help.
January
In December 2024, a blue ghost moon lander was seen at the Firefly Aerospace headquarters in Cedar Park, Texas.
Blue Ghost Lunar Lander Mission 1 and Hakuto-R M2 Elasticity

organize: SpaceX / NASA / Firefly Aerospace
Launching site: Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Rocket: SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5
This unplanned mission, Launched on January 15which will bring the firefly’s blue ghost moon lander to the moon, as well as the payload of 10 NASA instruments, aims to measure various indicators on the moon’s surface, including location and navigation data, Regolith behavior and the Earth’s magnetosphere.
New Glenn’s inauguration conference
Start date: Successfully launched on January 16
organize: Blue Origin / NASA
Rocket: Blue Origin New Glen
Launching site: Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida
Blue Origin’s first test flight of the new Glenn Rocket was scheduled to take place on January 13. However, a vehicle subsystem issue popped up, which would take too long to troubleshoot on the launch pad, so Blue Origin rescheduled the launch, and IT Arrived successfully on track on January 16. In addition to the first launch, the payload includes the Blue Ring Pathfinder, which aims to demonstrate its ability to communicate from orbit to ground.

Lunar Trail Blazers and Nova-C IM-2
Start date: Successfully launched on February 27
organize: SpaceX / NASA / Intuitive Machines
Rocket: SpaceX Falcon 9 Block 5
Launching site: Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Lunar Trail Blazers and Nova-C IM-2 Mission were successfully unraveled on February 27. Although part of Nova-C IM-2 is still OK, Lunar Trailblazer loses communication with NASA and NASA Currently lost in space. The success of the mission will be entirely determined by whether NASA can reconnect, which the agency is still trying to do.
This mission will bring the intuitive machine, Nova-C Lunar Lander, to the moon for a second mission. This trip also includes NASA’s Prime-1 payloadThis drills into the moon and uses a mass spectrometer to analyze the material below the surface.
