Dedicated SmallSat Rideshare mission. Three CubeSats and two PocketQubes (MDQSAT-1Aand 1B and Unicorn-2G and 2H) failed to deploy from the Falcon 9 second stage.

Problem occurred during second stage burn at an

The rocket's engines almost immediately shut down and the vehicle crashed back onto the launch pad.

Launched without a crew to replace the damaged Soyuz MS-22 following the latter's coolant leak.

Sixth crewed flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station. Crew: Stephen G. Bowen, Warren Hoburg, Sultan Al Neyadi, Andrey Fedyaev.

The second stage did not ignite; a destruct command was sent and the debris from the vehicle impacted the Pacific.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 30 days. Payload included the STP-H9 technology demonstration mission and six CubeSats: ARKSAT 1, LightCube, Ex-Alta 2, AuroraSat, YukonSat, NEUDOSE.

First launch for DOD’s Space Development Agency’s Tranche 0 Transport and Tracking Layer.

The satellite hosts NASA's TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) earth observation payload, the first payload under NASA’s Earth Venture Instrument program.

The first full Starship flight test using Booster 7. Of the 33 Raptor 2 engines on the Booster, 3 failed early and at least 3 more shut down at some point during the ascent. At T+3:59, an automated flight-termination-system destruct ended the flight in a fireball.

Falcon Heavy vehicle.was fully expended.

Private crewed spaceflight to the International Space Station. It included the first female Saudi astronaut to go to space. Crew: Peggy Whitson, John Shoffner, Ali AlQarni, Rayyanah Barnawi.

Fifth crewed flight to the Tiangong space station. Crew: Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, Gui Haichao.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 23 days. Payload included eight CubeSats that were deployed from the ISS in July 2023: ESSENCE, Iris, Maya-5 and -6, Moonlighter, RADSAT-SK, SC-ODIN, UKpik-1.

Launch of EchoStar’s Jupiter-3, the heaviest geostationary communications satellite at the time. It weighs approximately nine tons and is nearly as large as a school bus, when its 14 solar panels are fully deployed, they could span a 10-story building.

Cargo resupply docked with ISS for 61 days.

Seventh crewed flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station. Crew: Jasmin Moghbeli, Andreas Mogensen, Satoshi Furukawa, Konstantin Borisov.

Second of two launches for the DOD’s Space Development Agency’s Tranche 0 Transport and Tracking Layer.

Crew: Oleg Kononenko, Loral O’Hara, Nikolai Chub.

Stage 2 failure

Booster exploded after stage separation, at T+3:20 at an altitude of 90 km. Ship 25 continued accelerating, but ship's flight termination system had been activated towards the end of the burn, which according to the flight plan was to have shut down at T+8:33 in an estimated 50 x 250 km marginal orbit.
