Overview

Lunar exploration

The Chinese probe Chang'e 4 made the first soft landing on the far side of the Moon on 3 January. China also intends to launch Chang'e 5 in December, the first sample-return mission to the Moon since Luna 24 in 1976, and to test a new generation of crewed spacecraft. Chang'e 5 will use the recently developed Long March 5 heavy-lift rocket. India plans to launch the delayed Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter/lander/rover in April.[1] Some[2] of the participants in the expired Google Lunar X Prize plan to launch their private missions to the Moon in 2019, first being SpaceIL from Israel with their Beresheet ("Genesis" in Hebrew) lander.[3]

Exploration of the Solar System

The probe New Horizons encountered the Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69 (nicknamed Ultima Thule) on 1 January. This is the furthest object from the Sun ever to have a close encounter with a spacecraft.[4]

Human spaceflight

The United States are expected to regain crewed orbital launch capabilities lost after the Space Shuttle retirement in 2011. Crew capsules Dragon 2 by SpaceX and CST-100 Starliner by Boeing are scheduled to fly their demonstration missions to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Development program.[5] Dragon 2 successfully flew to the ISS on 3 March 2019 without a crew.

Blue Origin plans to send its own employees on board of New Shepard for the first crewed sub-orbital spaceflight in the first half of 2019.[6] Virgin Galactic plans to perform the first commercial sub-orbital flight in the middle of the year with the founder Richard Branson on board.[7]

Rocket innovation

Several manufacturers have announced the first orbital launches of new rockets for 2019: Firefly Alpha, LauncherOne and Vector-R in the US, Hyperbola-1, Kuaizhou-11 in China, Bloostar in Spain, and SSLV in India. As of the beginning of the year around 100 small satellite launchers were in active use, in development, or were recently canceled or stalled.[8]

The maiden flight of OS-M by OneSpace in March failed to reach orbit.[9]

The "single stick" Delta IV is expected to retire in 2019.[10]

Orbital launch statistics

By country

For the purposes of this section, the yearly tally of orbital launches by country assigns each flight to the country of origin of the rocket, not to the launch services provider or the spaceport. For example, Soyuz launches by Arianespace in Kourou are counted under Russia because Soyuz-2 is a Russian rocket.
