Technology

Space
  • NASA's Mars 2020 mission, which includes the Perseverance rover, was successfully launched on 30 July 2020 to study the habitability of Mars in preparation for future human missions.[1]
  • NASA's Artemis 1 mission to the Moon is set to launch after November 2020 to test the Space Launch System rocket.
  • ESA's ExoMars Rover launches in 2020.[2]
  • The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to be launched on 30 March 2021 after being delayed several times.[3]
  • India hopes to conduct its first human spaceflight in 2021.[4]
  • The Large Hadron Collider will once again begin operation in early 2021;[5][6][7][8] the collider was shut down in December 2018 "to enable major upgrade and renovation works."[5]
  • The first component of the Lunar Gateway, a proposed inhabitable space station to be implemented by multiple international space agencies on the Moon, the Power and Propulsion Element, is set to be delivered by an undetermined commercial launch vehicle in 2022.[9]
  • ESA's Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer is scheduled to be launched in 2022.[10]
  • SpaceX founder and entrepreneur Elon Musk plans to send the first Starship to Mars in 2022, paving the way to the colonization of the planet.[11]
