2019 in spaceflight
 American astronauts will take off from the United States again, on board Boeing Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon capsules. | |
This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2019.
China intends to launch Chang'e 5, the first sample-return mission to the Moon since Luna 24 in 1976, and to test a new generation of crewed spacecraft. Both of these missions will use the recently developed Long March 5 heavy-lift rocket. India plans to launch the delayed Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter/lander/rover in January. Some of the participants in the expired Google Lunar X Prize plan to launch their private missions to the Moon in 2019, first being SpaceIL with their Sparrow lander.[1]
The United States are expected to regain crewed launch capabilities lost after the Space Shuttle retirement in 2011. Crew capsules Dragon 2 by SpaceX and CST-100 Starliner by Boeing are scheduled to fly their demonstration missions to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Development program.[2]

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.
