After reviewing the International Space Station flight schedule, NASA and its partners are adjusting launch opportunities for several upcoming missions. This update to the schedule┬аbetter aligns┬аmission planning,┬аlogistics,┬аand timing┬аfor upcoming flights to support space station operations.┬а
The targeted no-earlier-than-launch opportunities┬аwith┬аNASA crew and cargo, pending operational readiness, are:┬а
- Tuesday,┬аMay 12:┬аNASAтАЩs SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-34┬аmission┬аis targeted to launch┬аmore than┬а6,400┬аpounds of cargo┬аand┬аpayloads┬аfrom Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.┬а
- July 14:┬аSoyuz MS-29┬аmission┬аwill launch┬аNASA astronaut Anil Menon and┬аRoscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr┬аDubrov┬аand Anna┬аKikina┬аon a long-duration mission aboard the space station.┬а┬а
- Mid-September:┬аNASAтАЩs SpaceX Crew-13┬аis┬аmoving┬аforward┬аfrom November 2026 to help increase the frequency of U.S.┬аcrew┬аrotation┬аmissions to┬аthe space station.┬аLaunch is planned from┬аSpace Launch Complex 40.┬а
- Fall:┬аNASAтАЩs SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-35 mission is targeted to launch┬аmore than┬а7,200┬аpounds┬аof cargo┬аand payloads, including┬аInternational Space Station┬аRoll Out Solar Arrays,┬аfrom Space Launch Complex 40.┬а┬а
- Fall/Winter:┬аNASAтАЩs Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services-25┬аmission┬аis targeted to launch┬аapproximately┬а11,000 pounds of cargo┬аfrom Space Launch Complex 40.┬а
Launch┬аopportunities for┬аNASAтАЩs┬аuncrewed Boeing Starliner-1 cargo┬аmission┬аremain under review┬аas┬аteams┬аcontinue working through technical┬аissues┬аdiscovered┬аduring the Crew Flight Test┬аin 2024, as well as final┬аactions┬аfrom┬аthe┬аProgram Investigation Team report.┬аThe agency┬аis┬аassessing┬аoperational readiness┬аand space station traffic┬аto┬аdetermine┬аthe earliest┬аfeasible┬аlaunch window.┬а┬а
NASA will review operations and make future adjustments, as necessary, to support the space stationтАЩs needs, crew safety, and maximize science capabilities aboard the orbiting laboratory.┬а
