Spaceflight in 2025 promises to follow the 2020s trend of record-breaking orbital launches (with at least 300 expected) and increased developments in lunar, Mars, and low-earth orbit exploration. Spaceflight in 2025 will include more private companies' launches, and reusable launch vehicles will be used. Private robotic landers, part of NASA'sCLPS Program have touched down with more to land as part of the Artemis program.
ESA'sPROBA-3 mission, launched in December 2024, successfully demonstrated preciseformation flying of aspace telescope spacecraft and an occulter spacecraft, delivering its firstcoronography pictures of theSun in June 2025.[1]
AstroForge's Brokkr-2 was launched on 27 February 2025 to perform a flyby of a near-Earth asteroid and determine if the asteroid is metallic.[2] The mission failed because of communication issues.[3][4]
China launched theTianwen-2 (ZhengHe) asteroid sample-return and comet probe on 28 May 2025.[5] It will rendezvous with near-Earth asteroid469219 Kamo'oalewa in mid-2026, attempt to collect samples, and return samples back to Earth in late 2027. Then it will travel tomain-belt comet311P/PANSTARRS for a decade-long mission to further explore the mysterious comet-like object.[6]
NASA's twinESCAPADE spacecraft were launched on 13 November onNew Glenn with the aim of investigating the effects of thesolar wind on theMartian atmosphere.[7] The two spacecraft were launched on an innovative trajectory where they stay in a staging orbit around the Sun-EarthLagrange point L2 until late 2026 when theMars transfer window opens.[8]
On 15 January,Blue Ghost Mission 1 byFirefly Aerospace andHakuto-R Mission 2 byispace launched together on aFalcon 9.
Firefly Aerospace's lunar lander carried NASA-sponsored experiments and commercial payloads as a part ofCommercial Lunar Payload Services program toMare Crisium.[9] Landing was completed successfully on 2 March 2025.[10] The mission exceeded expectations by transmitting over 110 GB of scientific and imaging data, including high‐definition views of the lunar horizon glow and an eclipse, far surpassing previous CLPS mission data yields.[11]
Epic Aerospace's Chimera-1Space tug was planned to transition fromTLI toGeosynchronous but failed due to a possible communication failure.[12][13]
On 5 June,Hakuto-R Mission 2, carrying the RESILIENCE lunar lander and the TENACIOUSmicro rover, attempted a landing inMare Frigoris but crashed into the lunar surface.[14][15][16]
Intuitive Machines's lunar landerIM-2, carrying NASA-sponsored experiments and commercial rovers (Yaoki, AstroAnt, Micro-Nova and MAPP LV1) and payloads as a part ofCommercial Lunar Payload Services program toMons Mouton, was launched on 27 February 2025 on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle withBrokkr-2 andLunar Trailblazer. IM-2 landed on 6 March 2025. The spacecraft was intact after touchdown but resting on its side, thereby complicating its planned science and technology demonstration mission; this outcome is similar to what occurred with the company's IM-1 Odysseus spacecraft in 2024.[17] On March 13, Intuitive Machines shared that, like on the IM-1 mission, theAthena'saltimeter had failed during landing, leaving its onboard computer without an accurate altitude reading. As a result, the spacecraft struck a plateau, tipped over, and skidded across the lunar surface, rolling once or twice before settling inside the crater. The company's CEO compared it to a baseball playersliding into a base. During the slide, the spacecraft rolled once or twice, before coming to rest inside the crater. The impact also kicked upregolith that coated the solar panels in dust, further degrading their performance.[18]
Lunar Trailblazer aimed to aid in the understanding oflunar water and the Moon's water cycle. The mission failed as contact was never established with spacecraft after launch.[19]
On 30 January,Sunita Williams broke the world record for the most time spent on spacewalk by a woman when she accumulated 62 hours and 6 minutes on her ninth EVA. The record was previously held byPeggy Whitson with 60 hours and 21 minutes.[20]
On 1 April at 01:46 (UTC)[b],Fram2 launched aboard aSpaceXFalcon 9 rocket, becoming the firstcrewed spaceflight to enter apolarretrograde orbit,[21] i.e., to fly over Earth's poles.[22]
Japan debuted its new resupply spacecraft,HTV-X, that flew aboardH3 on 26 October 2025 (HTV-X1)[23] and successfully arrived atISS on 29 October 2025.[24]
Blue Origin completed the maiden flight of itsNew Glenn rocket on 16 January 2025. The second stage successfully placed its payload into orbit, while the first stage failed to land on the recovery ship offshore.[25] On its second flight on 13 November, the first stage "Never Tell Me The Odds" landed on theJacklyn drone ship, making it the first non-SpaceX orbital-class booster to successfully landpropulsively.[26]
SpaceX expected to perform an in-spacepropellant transfer demonstration using two dockedStarships in 2025—a critical milestone that would allow SpaceX to refuel theirStarship HLS vehicle for an uncrewedlunar landing demonstration.[27] The propellant transfer demonstration mission was later postponed to 2026 as SpaceX suffered a number of setbacks with itsStarship program in 2025.[28]
ISRO successfully completed the docking of twoSpaDeX satellites (SDX-01 & SDX-02) in the early hours of 16 January 2025.[29]Docking of two vehicles in space has previously only been achieved by the Soviet Union/Russia, United States,ESA, and China.
Kuiper Systems, Amazon's satellite internet subsidiary, has started initial launches. It plans a constellation of over 3,000 satellites. The launches will occur onAtlas V,Falcon 9,Vulcan Centaur,Ariane 6 andNew Glenn launch vehicles.[30]
Guowang, a Chinese satellite internetconstellation, has started regular launches.[31] A constellation of over 13,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit is expected by the project's end.[32]
NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR), a joint project between NASA and ISRO to co-develop and launch a dual-frequencysynthetic aperture radar satellite that is used forremote sensing was launched on 30 July 2025. It is notable for being the first dual-bandradar imaging satellite.[33]
ESA launched four new missions for theEU's Earth observation programmeCopernicus. Theatmosphere-monitoringSentinel-4A andSentinel-5A launched in July and August aboard other European satellites in a two-missions-one-satellite approach,[34][35][36] while theradar missionsSentinel-1D andSentinel-6B launched as standalone spacecraft in November.[37][38] ESA also launched anotherEarth observation satellite of itsFutureEO programme, the radar-equipped Earth Explorer 7Biomass for monitoringcarbon storage inforests.[39] Furthermore, the ESA-supported Earth observation constellationsAIX,HiVE, andIRIDE launched their first satellites in 2025.[40][41][42]

As part of a get-ahead task, they inspected an ammonia vent line onUnity and inspected a foot restraint located near theZ1 Radio Antenna. This spacewalk was originally supposed to be performed byAndreas Mogensen andLoral O'Hara duringExpedition 70, but it was delayed indefinitely due to a radiator leak onNauka.[51] | |||||

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,Electron rockets launched from the Māhia Peninsula inNew Zealand are counted under theUnited States becauseElectron is an American rocket. For a launch attempt to be considered orbital it must be trying to achieve a positiveperigee. Launches from the Moon are not included in the statistics.
