Future deep-space rendezvous

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2019.

During the first quarter, China plans to launch Tianhe-1, the core module of the Chinese Space Station (CSS), which will comprise three large modules when completed.^[1] China also intends to launch Chang'e 5, the first sample-return mission to the Moon since the end of the Apollo program in the 1970s. Both of these missions will use the recently-developed Long March 5 heavy-lift rocket.

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.
