2023 in spaceflight
This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2023.
SpaceX's Starship is scheduled to conduct a crewed lunar flyby in 2023 at the earliest. | |
Overview
In 2023, 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.
NASA plans to launch the first two components of the Lunar Gateway,[2] a key part of its efforts to return to the Moon and a stepping stone for crewed missions to Mars in the 2030s.[3]

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.

Still early days. The point of the probe is to look for possible life in Venus' atmosphere. Current probe candidates are about 25 kg and have about 6 mins of time in the sweet spot. Photon will act as the relay back to Earth.
