2024 in spaceflight

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2024.

2024 in spaceflight
The first two modules of the Lunar Gateway will be launched in 2024.

NASA plans to launch the Artemis 2 mission on the Space Launch System, sending astronauts around the moon on a ten day lunar flyby.

NASA plans to launch the first two components of the Lunar Gateway,[1] a key part of its efforts to return to the Moon and a stepping stone for crewed missions to Mars in the 2030s.[2]

NASA also plans to launch the Europa Clipper, which will study the Jovian moon Europa while in orbit around Jupiter.

China will launch Chang'e 7 to explore the lunar south pole. The mission will include an orbiter, a relay satellite, a lander, a rover, and a mini-flying probe.[3] China is also planning to launch the Chang'e 6 sample-return mission around 2024.[4]

Japan plans to launch the Martian Moons Exploration (MMX) spacecraft to collect and bring back samples from one of the moons of Mars, Phobos.[5]

The first uncrewed flight of Orel, Russia's replacement for the crewed Soyuz spacecraft, is scheduled for 2024.

The first Indian crewed spaceflight, Gaganyaan 3, is planned for 2024.[6]

Orbital launch statistics

By country

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
