Overview

Exploration of the Solar System

Three missions to Mars are planned to be launched in 2020, including two rovers, two orbiters, and a lander. NASA plans to launch the Mars 2020 mission, which includes the Perseverance rover and Mars Helicopter, and will cache samples for eventual return to Earth.[1] The China National Space Administration (CNSA) will launch its Tianwen-1 mission, which includes an orbiter, a lander, and a small rover; it will be China's first mission to another planet using its own delivery vehicle.[1] Finally, the United Arab Emirates will launch the Hope Mars Mission orbiter on a Japanese rocket.[1]

China also intends to launch Chang'e 5, the first sample-return mission to the Moon since Luna 24 in 1976. Chang'e 5 will use the recently developed Long March 5 heavy-lift rocket.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission will sample the asteroid 101955 Bennu in August.[2] JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission will return samples of 162173 Ryugu to Earth in December.

Two solar missions are scheduled to be launched: ESA's Solar Orbiter to a heliocentric orbit, and India's Aditya-L1 to the Sun–Earth L₁ point. Parker Solar Probe, launched in 2018, will decrease its minimal distance to the Sun further to 14.2 million km.

Human spaceflight

China conducted a flight test of a next generation crewed spacecraft in May,[3] and continues preparations for the 2021 launch of the Tianhe Core Cabin Module of the Chinese Space Station.[4]

In the United States, SpaceX's Dragon 2 made its first crewed flight to the International Space Station on 31 May 2020 as part of the Commercial Crew Program,[5] enabling American human orbital spaceflight capability for the first time since the Space Shuttle's retirement in 2011. Boeing's CST-100 Starliner will conduct a second uncrewed test flight in advance of a first crewed test flight in 2021.[6]

NASA astronaut Christina Koch set a women's record-breaking 328 days in space ending on 6 February 2020. Scott Kelly still holds the all-time American record with 340 days in space; Cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov holds the all-time record of 437 days. Koch also participated in the first all-female spacewalk with Jessica Meir on 18 October 2019.[7]

Rocket innovation

SpaceX aims to begin orbital testing of its fully reusable two-stage-to-orbit vehicle Starship.[8]

The trend towards cost reduction in access to orbit is expected to continue. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries's H3 launch vehicle, scheduled to enter service this year, will cost less than half that of H-IIA, its predecessor.[9] Despite the increasing competition the cost of delivering cargo to the ISS will go up.[10]

Satellite innovation

SpaceX expects to begin operation of its Starlink constellation in 2020, with over 1000 satellites launched by the end of the year.[11] As of 08:54, Monday, June 29, 2020 (UTC), 538 satellites have been launched. OneWeb planned to start service in 2020 as well,[12] but filed for bankruptcy in March 2020 after 74 satellites were launched.[13]

The Mission Extension Vehicle MEV-1 became the first telerobotically-operated spacecraft to service another satellite on-orbit when it completed the first phase of a 5-year mission to extend the life of the Intelsat 901 (I-901) satellite. In February 2020 MEV-1 captured the I-901 commsat, which had been moved to graveyard orbit some months before. In April MEV-1 successfully brought I-901 it back to position in geosynchronous orbit where it is now expected to operate for another five years. This was a space industry first as satellite servicing had previously been accomplished only with on-orbit human assistance, during the missions to service the Hubble Space Telescope in the early 2000s.[14]

Start Date/Time	Duration	End Time	Spacecraft	Crew	Remarks
15 January 18:04	7 hours 29 minutes	01:33	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Christina Koch Jessica Meir	During the 7-hour, 29-minute spacewalk, the two NASA astronauts successfully replaced nickel-hydrogen batteries with newer, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for the power channel on one pair of the station’s solar arrays. Meir and Koch are scheduled to venture outside the station again Monday, Jan. 20, for a second battery replacement spacewalk.[494]
20 January 17:33	6 hours 58 minutes	00:31	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Christina Koch Jessica Meir	During the six hour and 58-minute spacewalk, the two NASA astronauts successfully completed the battery upgrade for one channel on one pair of the station’s solar arrays. Work included removing the last two nickel-hydrogen batteries from this area of the station’s backbone near the port solar array and moving them to an external platform. The batteries will be stored there until they can be disposed of in the next Japanese HTV cargo spacecraft after it delivers tons of supplies to the space station later this year. Meir and Koch also installed the sixth and final new lithium-ion battery, and ground controllers verified the new batteries powered up successfully to provide an improved and more efficient power capacity for station operations.[495]
25 January 11:04	6 hours 16 minutes	17:20	Expedition 61 ISS Quest	Andrew Morgan Luca Parmitano	During the 6 hour, 16 minute spacewalk, the two astronauts successfully completed leak checks for the cooling system on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) and opened a valve to being pressurizing the system. Preliminary testing shows AMS is responding as expected.[496]
26 June 11:02	6 hours 7 minutes	17:39	Expedition 63 ISS Quest	Chris Cassidy Robert Behnken	The spacewalkers removed five of six aging nickel-hydrogen batteries for one of two power channels for the starboard 6 (S6) truss, installed two of three new lithium-ion batteries, and installed two of three associated adapter plates that are used to complete the power circuit to the new batteries. Mission control reports that the two new batteries are working. The two NASA astronauts completed all the work planned for this first of four spacewalks to replace batteries that provide power for the station’s solar arrays on the starboard truss of the complex as well as initial tasks originally planned for the second scheduled spacewalk next Wednesday. The new batteries provide an improved and more efficient power capacity for operations.[497]
1 July 11:20	Planned		Expedition 63 ISS Quest	Chris Cassidy Robert Behnken	Cassidy and Behnken are scheduled to complete the upgrade to this initial power channel in a second spacewalk on July 1, during which they will install one more lithium-ion battery and one more adapter plate and remove the sixth nickel-hydrogen battery that will no longer be used.[498]

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.
