2026 in spaceflight
 Rendering of JAXA's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) space probe, scheduled to be launched in 2026. | |
This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2026.
In 2026, NASA is expected to launch the Artemis III mission, which will land astronauts near the south pole of the Moon. It is expected to be the first mission to land humans on the Moon since 1972.
China plans to launch Chang'e 7 to explore the lunar south pole in late 2026.[1] The mission will include an orbiter, a relay satellite, a lander, a rover, and a mini-flying probe.[2]
China also plans to launch Xuntian, a large space telescope that will co-orbit with the Tiangong space station, in 2026.

Orbital launch statistics
[edit]By country
[edit]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.
