NASA's Launch Services Program: 2024 Highlights | Kennedy Space Center

NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) started in 2024 with plans to keep up a steady "PACE"! How did that "GOES"? It was twice over successful with PREFIRE and a Demo 2 lift off from distant launch pads before we set sail for Europa. We recap a stellar year of science missions!

NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) is responsible for launching rockets delivering spacecraft that observe the Earth, visit other planets and explore the universe—from weather satellites to telescopes to Mars rovers and more.

LSP functions as a broker, matching spacecraft with the best-suited rockets, managing the launch process, providing support from pre-mission planning to post-launch. LSP helps implement NASA’s policy of a mixed-fleet launch strategy that uses both existing and emerging domestic launch capabilities to assure access to space.

NASA’s Launch Services Program is based at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
