1. MOON MISSIONS

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) mission on September 6. Currently en route to the lunar surface, the spacecraft is scheduled to land on January 19 inside the Shioli Crater on the moon."

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: Mission SLIM aims to demonstrate precision landing within 330 feet (100 meters) of the target. If successful, this spacecraft landing will mark Japan's first spacecraft landing on the moon, making Japan the fifth country to achieve a soft landing on the moon after the Soviet Union, the United States, China, and India.

2. ARTEMIS 2

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The Artemis 2 lunar mission by NASA will send the first astronauts to orbit the moon in nearly 50 years. Scheduled to launch as early as November 2024, this eight-day mission will fly four astronauts around the moon using the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket."

3. VULCAN CENTAUR ROCKET

After several delays over the course of five years, the first flight of the Vulcan Centaur rocket owned by United Launch Alliance (ULA) is scheduled for January 8. The rocket has been fully assembled in Cape Canaveral, Florida, in preparation for its maiden flight, which will carry multiple payloads, including the Peregrine moon lander from Astrobotic Technology.

4. SIERRA SPACE DREAM CHASER

NASA and Sierra Space are expected to launch a demonstration mission of their spacecraft, the Dream Chaser, in 2024 using the ULA Vulcan Centaur rocket. The Dream Chaser is a reusable private spacecraft designed to transport cargo and astronauts to low Earth orbit. The first unmanned flight of this spaceplane-shaped spacecraft will be conducted to the International Space Station.

"Dream Chaser is scheduled to deliver more than 7,800 pounds of cargo for this demonstration mission, but is capable of carrying over 11,500 pounds. This aircraft can also transport experimental samples, waste, and other payloads from the orbiting laboratory back to Earth. If everything goes smoothly, Dream Chaser will become an important part of NASA's commercial supply services program."

5. POLARIS DAWN

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving the html tags is as follows: "The Polaris Dawn mission plan, a privately-run human space mission by SpaceX on behalf of Jared Isaacman, the founder of Shift4 Payments, is scheduled to launch no later than April 2024. Alongside three other individuals, Isaacman will spend several days in Low Earth Orbit using the Crew Dragon spacecraft."

6. STARSHIP IFT-3

The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Starship SpaceX Rocket is preparing for its third flight, IFT-3, in the first quarter of 2024. IFT-3 on Ship 28 and Booster 10 aims to validate important technologies crucial for future moon and interplanetary missions."

This mission is a continuation of the second flight test (IFT-2) by the company on November 18, 2023, which demonstrated successful heat shielding but experienced telemetry loss after eight minutes of flight. Nevertheless, the planned critical test for IFT-3 is propellant transfer using two different tanks within the Starship.

7. ARIANE 6

The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch the Ariane 6 rocket in mid-2024. The latest tests have been completed on December 7 and December 15, which require launch operation readiness for the rocket's inaugural flight. Although the upper stage testing on December 7 was canceled shortly after takeoff, which appeared to be normal, the core and upper stage testing on December 15 went smoothly.

8. NEW GLENN'S ESCAPAGE LAUNCH.

The first launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket seems promising in 2024 after experiencing numerous delays since 2020. This two-stage heavy-lift rocket stands over 320 feet (98 meters) tall, with the capability to carry nearly 100,000 pounds (45 metric tons) of payload to low Earth orbit.

New Glenn is designed to be a reusable launch vehicle for up to 25 missions. Its first flight is the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) NASA mission to study the Mars magnetosphere.

9. EUROPA CLIPPER

NASA plans to send a spacecraft to explore Jupiter's moon, Europa, in 2024. Named Europa Clipper, the spacecraft will study Jupiter's moon, which is as cold as ice, to determine if its underground ocean can be inhabited.

The following is the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "This aircraft is scheduled to launch on October 6, 2024, using the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket and arrive at Jupiter on April 11, 2030. This spacecraft will orbit Jupiter, not Europa, due to radiation issues. After reaching Jupiter, this spacecraft will fly across Europa nearly 50 times, which is one of the most promising places in the solar system to search for life beyond the enticing surface of the moon."

10. BOEING STARLINER

The first manned test flight of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft is temporarily scheduled for mid-April. The eight-day mission includes test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will travel to the International Space Station in a reusable capsule.

Produced by Boeing, Starliner consists of a reusable crew capsule and a disposable service module. This spacecraft is designed to transport crew members to low Earth orbit and will be used for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. For its first test flight, Starliner will be launched with the ULA Atlas V rocket.
