NASA is set to undertake its most ambitious mission in decades with Artemis II, aiming to send astronauts around the moon in 2024, marking the first human travel beyond Earth's orbit since the Apollo era. Other significant missions include SpaceX's development of the Starship rocket, the Europa Clipper mission to search for life on Jupiter's moon, and various lunar landings by different countries and companies. Additionally, the European Space Agency plans to launch the Hera mission to study the aftermath of the DART asteroid deflection test. Space tourism is also expected to reach new milestones with missions like Polaris Dawn. Furthermore, NASA will continue to monitor Earth from space with missions like PACE and the collaborative NISAR satellite with ISRO to study climate change impacts.
