| Juice Ganymede Orbit Insertion | Orbital Insertion | Ganymede | Approximate | Orbital insertion of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission around Ganymede. |
| 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. | |
| Hayabusa2 Asteroid 1998 KY26 Rendezvous | Spacecraft Event | 1998 KY26 | Approximate | As part of its mission extension, JAXA's Hayabusa2 spacecraft will rendezvous with asteroid 1998 KY26. |
| 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. |
| Lucy Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Third and final Earth flyby of NASA's Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids. | |
| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 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 Trojan Asteroid (21900) Orus Flyby | Flyby | (21900) Orus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (21900) Orus by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| 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. |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (11351) Leucus Flyby | Flyby | (11351) Leucus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (11351) Leucus 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 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. | |
| 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. |
| Lucy Trojan Asteroid (15094) Polymele Flyby | Flyby | (15094) Polymele | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (15094) Polymele 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. | |
| 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. |
| Boeing Starliner-1 Landing | Spacecraft Landing | White Sands Missile Range | Approximate | Following its deorbit burn, the Boeing CST-100 Starliner will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and land at the White Sands Missile Range using its parachutes. |
| Boeing Starliner-1 Undocking | Spacecraft Undocking | International Space Station | Approximate | The Boeing CST-100 Starliner will undock from the International Space Station and conduct a deorbit burn as part of its first operational mission. Following the deorbit burn the capsule will renter the Earth's atmosphere and land at the 'White Sands Missile Range' using its parachutes. |
| 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. |
