Upcoming Missions

Image credit: NASANASA's Kennedy Space Center is the designated lead center for the acquisition and management of expendable launch vehicles (ELV) launch services for the agency. The Kennedy team manages all NASA ELV launches from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Kodiak Island in Alaska, Kwajalein Island in the Pacific, and elsewhere.
Today, the LSP team is working diligently to prepare the following future missions for launch.
Recent and Upcoming Missions
Aquarius
Juno
Beneath its clouds, Jupiter holds secrets about our solar system's early history.
Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL)
The GRAIL spacecraft will use high-quality gravity field mapping of the moon to determine the moon's interior structure.
NPOESS Preparatory Project (NPP)
The NPP Mission will provide atmospheric and sea surface temperatures, humidity sounding, land and ocean biological productivity, and cloud and aerosol properties.
Mars Science Laboratory
Meet the next Mars rover, the Mars Science Laboratory, nicknamed Curiosity.
Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR)
NuSTAR will use high energy X-rays to search for black holes, map supernova explosions, and study the most extreme active galaxies.
Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP)
The Radiation Belt Storm Probes will study Earth's radiation belts to improve future spacecraft operations, system designs and mission planning.
Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS)
The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) consists of several operational satellites that provide in-flight communications with spacecraft operating in low-Earth orbit.
Interface Region Imaging Spectograph (IRIS)
IRIS fills a crucial gap in our ability to advance Sun-Earth connection studies by tracing the flow of energy and plasma through this foundation of the corona and heliosphere.
