| 121 |  | CRS-22 & IROSA | Thu Jun 03 2021 | Successful 🚀 | SpaceX's 22nd ISS resupply mission on behalf of NASA, this mission sends essential supplies to the International Space Station using the cargo variant of SpaceX's Dragon 2 spacecraft. The external payload for this mission is the first pair of ISS Roll Out Solar Arrays. Falcon 9 and Dragon launch from LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center and the booster is expected to land on an ASDS. The mission will be complete with splashdown and recovery of the capsule and down cargo. | Kennedy Space Center Historic Launch Complex 39A | 🔍 Details |
| 122 |  | Türksat 5B | Sun Dec 19 2021 | Successful 🚀 | The Türksat 5B communication satellite, which its construction work continues at Airbus Defense and Space's facilities in Toulouse, France, will soon be sent to the Cape Canaveral Space Launch Station located in Florida, United States. The satellite will be launched into space onboard the Falcon 9 rocket following pre-launch preparations. With an estimated in-orbit lifetime of 30 years and the aim of securing Turkey’s orbital and frequency rights, Türksat 5B will be launched into an orbital slot at 42 degrees East. With 12 kW power, Türksat 5B will provide TV broadcasting and data communication services over a wide coverage area that reaches the entire Middle East, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, North Africa, East Africa, South Africa and Nigeria. Apart from that, the satellite will also provide customized services for airlines and commercial ship operators around the world thanks to the fact that it operates in Ka-Band. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
| 123 |  | DART | Wed Nov 24 2021 | Successful 🚀 | NASA's Double Asteroid Redirect Test (DART) will demonstrate the use of a kinetic impactor to alter an asteroid's trajectory, an intervention that could be used in the future to prevent devastating Earth impacts. The target system consists of Didymos, 780 meters in diameter, and its moonlet Dimorphos, 160 meters. The DART spacecraft will intercept the double asteroid, using autonomous guidance to crash into the smaller one. Moving at about 6 km/s, the transferred momentum should alter Dimorphos's 12 hour orbital period around its companion by several minutes. The mission tests several technologies, including the Small-body Maneuvering Autonomous Real-Time Navigation (SMART Nav) used to differentiate and steer toward the target body and Roll-Out Solar Arrays (ROSA) with Transformational Solar Array concentrators. NASA’s Evolutionary Xenon Thruster — Commercial (NEXT–C) ion engine will also be demonstrated, although the spacecraft's primary propulsion is hydrazine thrusters. DART should arrive at Didymos in late September 2022, when it is about 11 million kilometers from Earth. Ten days before impact, the Italian Space Agency's cubesat LICIACube will be deployed to observe the collision and ejecta with its two cameras. Earth-based telescopes will be used to measure the altered orbit. | Vandenberg Space Force Base Space Launch Complex 4E | 🔍 Details |

| 130 |  | Transporter-2 | Wed Jun 30 2021 | Successful 🚀 | Falcon 9 launches to sun-synchronous polar orbit from Florida as part of SpaceX's Rideshare program dedicated to smallsat customers. The mission lifts off from SLC-40, Cape Canaveral on a southward azimuth and performs a dogleg maneuver. The booster for this mission is expected to return to LZ-1 based on FCC communications filings. This rideshare takes approximately 90 satellites and hosted payloads into orbit on a variety of deployers including three free-flying spacecraft which dispense their customers' satellites after separation from the SpaceX stack. | Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Space Launch Complex 40 | 🔍 Details |
