|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boeing Starliner-1 Docking | Docking | International Space Station | Approximate | The Starliner-1 spacecraft will dock autonomously to the International Space Station, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station. |
| US EVA-100 | EVA | International Space Station | NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk will exit the station’s Quest airlock to install and deploy an International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) on the 2A electrical power channel. The solar array will be the seventh IROSA and will provide additional power to support critical station operations, including its safe and controlled deorbit. | |
| US EVA-101 | EVA | International Space Station | NASA astronaut Anil Menon and CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk will install and deploy the eighth and final IROSA on the 3B channel of the space station, completing the power augmentation upgrades. The final two roll-out solar arrays will complete the space station’s power system augmentation. Together, the eight roll-out arrays will increase available power by up to 30%, boosting the station’s electric power generation capacity from 160 kilowatts to approximately 215 kilowatts. | |
| Europa Clipper Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Approximate | NASA’s Europa Clipper will fly by Earth for a second and final gravity assist on its way to Jupiter. |
| Hayabusa2 Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Approximate | As part of its mission extension, JAXA's Hayabusa2 spacecraft will fly by Earth on its way to asteroid 1998 KY26. |
| Hayabusa2 Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Approximate | As part of its mission extension, JAXA's Hayabusa2 spacecraft will fly by Earth on its way to asteroid 1998 KY26. |
| Juice Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Approximate | Fourth flyby of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission on its way to the Jovian system. |
| Lucy Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Third and final Earth flyby of NASA's Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids. | |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (11351) Leucus Flyby | Flyby | (11351) Leucus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (11351) Leucus by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (15094) Polymele Flyby | Flyby | (15094) Polymele | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (15094) Polymele by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (21900) Orus Flyby | Flyby | (21900) Orus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (21900) Orus by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (3548) Eurybates & Queta Flyby | Flyby | (3548) Eurybates | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (3548) Eurybates and its satellite Queta by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroids (617) Patroclus & Menoetius Flyby | Flyby | (617) Patroclus & Menoetius | Flyby of the Trojan binary asteroid pair (617) Patroclus and Menoetius by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Solar Orbiter Venus Flyby | Flyby | Venus | Solar Orbiter, a partnership between ESA and NASA, will perform a gravity assist maneuver with Venus on December 24, 2026. Throughout its mission it also makes repeated gravity assist flybys of Venus to get closer to the Sun, and to change its orbital inclination, boosting it out of the ecliptic plane, to get the best – and first – views of the Sun’s poles. | |
| Solar Orbiter Venus Flyby | Flyby | Venus | Solar Orbiter, a partnership between ESA and NASA, will perform a gravity assist maneuver with Venus on March 17, 2028. Throughout its mission it also makes repeated gravity assist flybys of Venus to get closer to the Sun, and to change its orbital inclination, boosting it out of the ecliptic plane, to get the best – and first – views of the Sun’s poles. | |
| Solar Orbiter Venus Flyby | Flyby | Venus | Solar Orbiter, a partnership between ESA and NASA, will perform a gravity assist maneuver with Venus on June 10, 2029. Throughout its mission it also makes repeated gravity assist flybys of Venus to get closer to the Sun, and to change its orbital inclination, boosting it out of the ecliptic plane, to get the best – and first – views of the Sun’s poles. | |
| Solar Orbiter Venus Flyby | Flyby | Venus | Solar Orbiter, a partnership between ESA and NASA, will perform a gravity assist maneuver with Venus on September 2, 2030. Throughout its mission it also makes repeated gravity assist flybys of Venus to get closer to the Sun, and to change its orbital inclination, boosting it out of the ecliptic plane, to get the best – and first – views of the Sun’s poles. | |
| BepiColombo Mercury Orbit Insertion | Orbital Insertion | Mercury | Approximate | Orbital insertion around Mercury of the ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission. |
| Juice Ganymede Orbit Insertion | Orbital Insertion | Ganymede | Approximate | Orbital insertion of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission around Ganymede. |
| Juice Jupiter Orbit Insertion | Orbital Insertion | Jupiter | Approximate | Orbital insertion of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission around Jupiter, using a Ganymede gravity assist flyby to reduce its velocity, followed by two engine burns. |
