Upcoming Missions

Photograph of the Falcon Heavy launching the Arabsat mission

Star Fleet is currently planning larger trips for the multiple potential remaining Falcon Heavy launches planned for 2023, the next being the NASA Pysche mission currently scheduled for October 5 at 10:38 AM EDT (14:38 UTC). If there's interest, we will likely run smaller, less-formal community trips for the upcoming NASA Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station currently scheduled for August 17 at 6:56 AM EDT (10:56 UTC), as well as other notable launches and those involving Return to Launch Site landings. Additionally, for those curious, we will be going out for the NASA SLS Artemis 2 crew mission to the moon, currently scheduled for no earlier than November 2024. Stay tuned here and on our social media for updates as we get closer to the scheduled dates.

Be sure to check our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for the latest updates on all our activities, as well as announcements of smaller/informal trips, and feel free to reach out over DM if you're interested in a private charter for a specific mission. Thanks!
