This year will be an exciting time for space missions.
2025 kicks off with two moon landing attempts in January, followed by SpaceX's daring demonstration to transfer propellants between two Starship vehicles in low Earth orbit — a critical step in testing the company's ability to use the spacecraft to reach the moon and Mars. Later in 2025, Europe will launch an uncrewed robotic laboratory, and NASA's Juno spacecraft may reach the end of its extended mission and burn up in Jupiter's dense atmosphere.
