Complete Rocket Launch Schedule 2025

2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for spaceflight. SpaceX continues its unprecedented launch cadence, NASA progresses toward returning humans to the Moon, and new launch vehicles from Blue Origin, ULA, and international providers are entering operational service. This guide covers every major launch provider, their scheduled missions, and what to watch for this year.

SpaceX 2025 Launch Schedule

SpaceX remains the dominant launch provider globally. With Falcon 9 achieving rapid reusability — some boosters flying over 20 times — the company targets 150+ launches in 2025. Key categories include:

• Starlink Group missions: Continues filling out Gen2 constellation, deploying hundreds of satellites per month
• Commercial crew: NASA Commercial Crew rotations to the International Space Station
• Commercial satellites: GEO/MEO communications satellites for global operators
• Starship: Continued integrated flight tests and progression toward commercial operations

NASA Launch Schedule 2025

NASA's 2025 manifest is headlined by science missions and the ongoing Artemis program infrastructure. Key NASA launches include:

• Continuation of ISS crew rotation via SpaceX Commercial Crew and Boeing Starliner
• Science missions across planetary, heliophysics, and astrophysics categories
• Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) deliveries to the lunar surface

ULA Vulcan Centaur

United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan Centaur rocket, powered by Blue Origin BE-4 engines, is entering commercial operations after its 2024 certification flights. The vehicle is contracted to launch Amazon Project Kuiper broadband satellites and national security payloads, gradually replacing the Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy that defined ULA's previous generation.

Blue Origin New Glenn

Blue Origin's orbital-class New Glenn rocket completed its inaugural flight in early 2025. With a payload capacity exceeding Falcon 9 and a reusable first stage, New Glenn enters competition in the commercial launch market. Amazon Kuiper deployments will drive much of New Glenn's early manifest.

Rocket Lab Electron

Rocket Lab continues serving the small satellite market with Electron launches from New Zealand and their new Virginia launch facility. Electron targets customers needing dedicated rideshare or time-sensitive orbital insertion that larger vehicles cannot accommodate on short timelines.

International Launch Providers

Chinese launch providers — CASC (Long March family) and private operators like LandSpace (Zhuque-2) and Galactic Energy — have dramatically increased cadence. China is now second only to SpaceX in annual orbital launches. India's ISRO continues its GSLV and PSLV manifests, and Europe's Ariane 6 is ramping to operational service replacing the retired Ariane 5.

How to Track Launch Updates

Launch schedules are inherently fluid. Weather holds, technical issues, and range conflicts regularly push launches by days or weeks. AEROSPACE.BOT aggregates launch data from official mission pages, SpaceLaunchNow, and RocketLaunch.Live APIs, updating in real-time. Set up notifications on our launch schedule page to receive alerts 24 hours and 1 hour before each launch.
