2023 in spaceflight
SpaceX's Starship is scheduled to conduct a crewed lunar flyby in 2023 at the earliest.

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2023.

Overview

SpaceX plans to conduct a crewed lunar flyby with Yusaku Maezawa using the Starship, a crewed spacecraft being developed with partial funding from Maezawa.[1] The flight, dubbed the dearMoon project, will include six to eight artists invited as passengers.

The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft, which will explore Jupiter and its large ice-covered moons, following an eight-year transit.[2] ESA also plans to conduct an orbital test flight of the Space Rider uncrewed spaceplane.[3]

Blue Origin plans to launch its first orbital-class launch vehicle, New Glenn, which features a reusable first stage.[4]

Orbital launch statistics

By country

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.
