"2024: A Year of Momentous Space Launches and Moon Missions Shaping Humanity's Future"

The Space Coast is anticipating a busy 2024 with significant space missions including NASA's Artemis II, which aims to send humans on a fly-by of the moon, and the introduction of new spacecraft like Boeing's CST-100 Starliner and Sierra Space's Dream Chaser. United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan Centaur rocket and potentially Blue Origin's New Glenn are expected to debut. Commercial lunar landers from companies like Astrobotic and Intuitive Machines are set to deliver payloads to the moon, while SpaceX continues to dominate launch numbers with Starlink and crewed missions. The year could also see the final launch of ULA's Delta IV Heavy rocket and the significant Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon.
