| Maiden flight of Ariane 6. Failure of the auxiliary propulsion system precluded the third relight of the Vinci upper stage, causing the two reentry capsules and upper stage to be stranded in their 580-km circular orbit. Nine satellites, two reentry capsules, and five onboard experiments were launched.[13] TheELaNa-48 mission, consisting of the two CURIE cubesats, was launched on this flight.[14] The two CURIE cubesats were launched as a single spacecraft and separated in orbit (ESA Rideshares - Demo Flight).[15] | ||||||||

| Second and last Galileo launch on aFalcon 9 and overall thirteenth launch of Galileo satellites, carrying two satellites. Originally planned to launch on Soyuz ST-B, but scrapped due to geopolitical factors. Then moved toAriane 6, which was also scrapped due to delays. Europe contracted SpaceX to launch the two pairs aboard Falcon 9. | ||||||||

| Ninth operationalCrew Dragon mission to theISS. First crewed launch from SLC-40.[146] After NASA decided to return Starliner's Crewed Flight Test (CFT) vehicle uncrewed, it was decided that Crew-9 would launch with only 2 crew members of the originally intended 4, and land with the added 2 Starliner CFT crew. After Dragon separation, the second stage performed an off-nominal deorbit burn that, while it put the second stage on a reentry course over the ocean, made it fall outside of the predetermined safety area for reentry. | ||||||||

| Certification-2 mission, the second of two launches needed to certify the rocket for NSSL missions. Originally scheduled to carry the first flight ofDream Chaser; however, due to schedule delays with Dream Chaser, ULA flew amass simulator with experiments and demonstrations of futureCentaur V technologies.[148][149] Approximately 37 seconds into the launch, thenozzle on one ofsolid rocket boosters (SRB) fell off resulting in a shower of debris in the exhaust plume. Although the SRB continued to function for its full 90-second burn, the anomaly led to reduced, asymmetrical thrust. This caused the rocket to slightly tilt before theguidance system and main engines successfully corrected and extended their burn by roughly 20 seconds to compensate. Despite the anomaly, the rocket achieved a perfect orbital insertion.[150][151] | ||||||||
