This article documents notable spaceflight events during the year 2019.

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 February. Some of the participants in the expired Google Lunar X Prize plan to launch their private missions to the Moon in 2019, first being SpaceIL with their Beresheet lander.[1]

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.[2]

Human spaceflight

The United States are expected to regain crewed 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.[3]

Blue Origin plans to send its own employees on board of New Shepard for the first crewed suborbital flight in the first half of 2019.[4]

Rocket innovation

Several manufacturers have announced the first orbital launches of new rockets for 2019: Firefly Alpha, LauncherOne and Vector-R in the USA, Hyperbola-1, Kuaizhou-11 and OneSpace-M1 in China, Bloostar and Vega-C in Europe, and SSLV in India.

The "single stick" Delta IV is expected to retire in 2019.[5]

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.
