Future deep-space rendezvous

Notable spaceflight activities in 2017 included the maiden flight of India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (also called LVM3) on 5 June, which should be followed by the much-delayed Falcon Heavy in November, from the refurbished Launch Complex 39 Pad A at Kennedy Space Center.

China launched its new missile-derived Kaituozhe-2 variant on 2 March, and has scheduled another small-lift rocket, the Naga-L, for its maiden flight later this year. The Japanese SS-520-4, a suborbital sounding rocket modified for orbital flight, failed to reach orbit in January. If successful, it would have become the smallest and lightest vehicle to ever put an object in orbit.[1]

Private manufacturer Rocket Lab performed its first suborbital test of their Electron rocket, inaugurating the Mahia spaceport in New Zealand. The rocket is named for its innovative Rutherford engine which feeds propellants via battery-powered electric motors instead of the usual gas generator and turbopumps.

The venerable Russian Soyuz-U workhorse was retired after its 786th mission on 22 February. On 30 March, the SES-10 mission was launched with a previously-flown Falcon 9 first stage, achieving a key milestone in the SpaceX reusable launch system development program.

After a record-breaking 13-year mission observing Saturn, its rings and moons, the Cassini space probe will be deliberately destroyed by plunging into Saturn's atmosphere, a maneuver scheduled for September 15, 2017.

Start Date/Time Duration End Time Spacecraft Crew Remarks
6 January
12:23		 6 hours
31 minutes		 18:54 Expedition 50
ISS Quest
The crew completed the installation of new batteries on the Station's power channel 3A, and then executed a series of tasks to get ahead for the next EVA. Kimbrough collected photos of the AMS-02, then they removed a broken light on the S3 truss and routed ethernet cables on the Z1 truss.
13 January
11:22		 5 hours
58 minutes		 17:20 Expedition 50
ISS Quest
The crew completed the installation of new batteries on the Station's power channel 1A, and then exucuted a series of get ahead tasks. First they installed a new camera on the Mobile Transporter Relay Assembly, then Pesquet replaced a Worksite Interface Adapter on Canadarm-2 and collected photos of Z1 truss and S0 truss, meanwhile Kimbrough removed 2 handrails from the Destiny module. Then they picked up a bundle of covers and brought them to the Tranquillity module where will be installed when Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 will be moved from Node 3 to Node 2. When removed, the PMA's Common Berthing Mechanism will be covered up to protect it from the space environment.
24 March
11:24		 6 hours
34 minutes		 17:58 Expedition 50
ISS Quest
Kimbrough replaced the External Control Zone 2 (EXT-2) Multiplexer-Demultiplexer (MDM) with an upgraded "EPIC MDM" and prepared PMA-3 for its robotic relocation on Sunday. Pesquet inspected the Radiator Beam Valve Module for ammonia leaks, then lubricated one of the Latching End Effectors of Dextre. Kimbrough then replaced a pair of cameras on the Kibo module, and a light on one of the CETA carts.
30 March
11:29		 7 hours
4 minutes		 18:33 Expedition 50
ISS Quest
Kimbrough replaced the External Control Zone 1 (EXT-1) Multiplexer-Demultiplexer (MDM) with an upgraded "EPIC MDM" while Whitson connected heater power and heater feedback telemetry to enable PMA-3 to be repressurized, then released a series of straps to free up a cover that protected the APAS. The astronauts then installed 4 axial shields on PMA-3's former location on Tranquillity module and installed covers on PMA-3.
12 May
13:01 [83]		 4 hours

ISS Quest
Throughout this hurriedly planned ‘contingency’ spacewalk, both Fischer and Whitson successfully replaced a failed multiplexer-demultiplexer (MDM), and installed a pair of antennas on station to enhance wireless communication for future spacewalks. [85]

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.
