| 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. | |
| US EVA-100/101 Preview News Conference | Press Event | Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, USA | NASA will preview two upcoming spacewalks to complete solar array installation and power augmentation of the International Space Station during a news conference at 2 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, Oct. 20, from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA participants include: - Gaurang Patel, operations integration manager, Low Earth Orbit Program - Garrett Hehn, spacewalk flight director, Flight Operations Directorate | |
| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| SNC-1 Dream Chaser Release & Reentry | Spacecraft Release | International Space Station | Approximate | The Sierra Nevada Corporation SNC-1 Dream Chaser will be unberthed from the ISS before re-entering the Earth's atmosphere and landing at Kennedy Space Center. |
| SNC-1 Dream Chaser Landing | Spacecraft Landing | Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA | Approximate | The Sierra Nevada Corporation SNC-1 Dream Chaser will land autonomously at the Launch and Landing Facility of Kennedy Space Center. |
| SNC-1 Dream Chaser Berthing | Spacecraft Berthing | International Space Station | Approximate | NASA TV will livestream the rendezvous and capture of Sierra Nevada Corporation's Dream Chaser cargo craft to the International Space Station. |
| RS-25 Engine Test | Static Fire | Fred Haise Test Stand, NASA’s Stennis Space Center | Approximate | NASA is conducting a hot fire of an RS-25 engine as part of certification testing for future SLS (Space Launch System) rockets. The test of developmental RS-25 engine No. 10001 is planned to run for almost eight-and-a-half minutes (500 seconds) and throttle up to 111% of its rated power level. |
| 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. | |
| 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 Asteroid (21900) Orus Flyby | Flyby | (21900) Orus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (21900) Orus 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 (11351) Leucus Flyby | Flyby | (11351) Leucus | Flyby of the Trojan asteroid (11351) Leucus by NASA's Lucy mission. | |
| Lucy Earth Flyby | Flyby | Earth | Third and final Earth flyby of NASA's Lucy mission to the Trojan asteroids. | |
| 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. |
| Juice Ganymede Orbit Insertion | Orbital Insertion | Ganymede | Approximate | Orbital insertion of ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) mission around Ganymede. |
| Juice Ganymede Impact | Spacecraft Event | Ganymede | Approximate | After running out of propellant to maintain its trajectory, ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft will impact Ganymede due to orbital perturbations. |
