2025 is a landmark year for space exploration and commercialization. The Moon takes center stage with missions like India’s Chandrayaan-4, private lunar landers, and SpaceX’s Starship tests for NASA’s Artemis program. Deep-space efforts include NASA’s SPHEREx telescope and Japan/ESA’s BepiColombo at Mercury.
China accelerates its space ambitions with Chang’e-6 (far-side sample return), Tianwen-2 (asteroid mission), and crewed flights to its space station. Reusable rockets like Long March 10 and private Zhuque-3 aim to slash costs. Satellite mega-constellations expand, with China’s GW and SpaceX’s Starlink boosting global internet coverage.
Commercial space thrives, with SpaceX targeting 25 Starship launches , while China’s private firms advance reusable rockets and satellite production. Orbital habitats like Vast’s Haven-1 signal growing private sector presence.
Challenges include LEO congestion , cost pressures, and competition in launch tech. Yet, 2025 solidifies space as a dual-domain of global rivalry and collaboration, with China emerging as a systemic leader alongside the U.S. and private players.
The following are scientific and technological references. Please read and learn more.

Selected highlight:
2025 promises to be a groundbreaking year for space exploration. With NASA’s ambitious missions and significant contributions from other countries, we are set to make remarkable strides in humanity’s understanding of the universe. These missions will not only advance scientific knowledge but also inspire future generations to look to the stars.

Everything I’ve spoken about so far has been based on what’s currently scheduled for 2025. But things often change in space, and it’s highly unlikely that everything written about here will actually happen. In fact, only half the missions I mentioned in last year’s blog ended up happening (some of which I’ve predicted again for this year!) But to finish off, barring something going drastically wrong with a spacecraft or a basic scientific principle, here are some things that are practically certain to happen this year.
The year ahead is expected to be full of ambitious space missions.
In the coming weeks or months, several robotic landers are expected to launch to the moon.
China and India both hope to achieve milestones in space this year.
