Several significant events in [[spaceflight]] occurred in 2009, including [[Iran]] conducting its first indigenous orbital launch, the first [[Switzerland|Swiss]] satellite being launched and New Zealand launching its first [[sounding rocket]]. The [[H-IIB]] and [[Naro-1]] rockets conducted maiden flights, whilst the [[Tsyklon-3]], [[Falcon 1]] and [[Ariane 5|Ariane 5GS]] were retired from service.<ref name="NSF-T3-retired" /><ref name="F1-retired"/> The permanent crew of the [[International Space Station]] increased from three to six in May, and in the last few months of the year, Japan's first resupply mission to the outpost, [[HTV-1]], was conducted successfully.

{{TOC limit|2}}

==Overview==
[[File:Iridium satellite.jpg|left|thumb|An Iridium satellite]]
The internationally accepted definition of a spaceflight is any flight which crosses the [[Kármán line]], 100 kilometres above sea level. The first spaceflight launch of the year was that of a [[Delta IV]] Heavy, carrying the [[USA-202]] [[ELINT]] satellite, which launched from [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station]] at 02:47 GMT on 18 January. This was also the first orbital launch of the year.

On 2 February, [[Iran]] conducted its first successful orbital launch,<ref name="JSR606" /> when a [[Safir (rocket)|Safir]] was used to place the [[Omid]] satellite into [[low Earth orbit]].

At 16:56 GMT on 10 February, the [[2009 satellite collision|first major collision]] between two satellites in orbit occurred, resulting in the destruction of [[Kosmos 2251]] and [[Iridium 33]], launched in 1993 and 1997 respectively. Up until the collision, Iridium 33 was operational, and an active part of the [[Iridium (satellite)|Iridium]] network of satellites, whilst Kosmos 2251 was an inactive piece of [[space debris|space junk]].

On 25 August, the [[Russia|Russo-]] [[South Korea]]n [[Naro-1]] rocket made its maiden flight on 25 August, marking South Korea's first involvement in conducting a satellite launch attempt, however the rocket failed to reach orbit after its payload fairing malfunctioned.

[[File:HTV after grapple.jpg|left|thumb|HTV-1 arriving at the ISS]]
The first flight of the [[SpaceX]] [[Falcon 9]] carrier rocket was scheduled to occur in November, but was delayed to February 2010 to allow more time for preparations. The [[SpaceX Dragon]], a commercial [[Uncrewed spacecraft|uncrewed]] logistics spacecraft which was developed as part of [[NASA]]'s [[Commercial Orbital Transportation Services|COTS]] programme, was also scheduled to make its first flight in 2009, however its launch has also slipped to 2010 as a result of knock-on delays. The first [[H-II Transfer Vehicle]], [[HTV-1]], was successfully launched on the maiden flight of the [[H-IIB]] carrier rocket on 10 September. The first Swiss satellite, [[SwissCube-1]], was launched on 23 September aboard a [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle|PSLV]].

On 18 December, the Ariane 5GS made its final flight, delivering the [[Helios-IIB]] satellite into a [[Sun-synchronous orbit]]. The last orbital launch of the year was conducted eleven days later, on 29 December, when a [[Proton-M]] with a [[Briz-M]] upper stage launched the [[DirecTV-12]] satellite.

==Space exploration==

Although no planetary probes were launched in 2009, four [[astronomy|astronomical]] [[space observatory|observatories]] were placed into orbit. The [[Kepler Mission|Kepler]] spacecraft, which was launched by a [[Delta II]] on 7 March, entered an Earth-trailing [[heliocentric orbit]] from where it will search for [[exoplanets]]. On 14 May, and [[Ariane 5|Ariane 5ECA]] launched the [[Herschel Space Observatory|Herschel]] and [[Planck (spacecraft)|Planck]] spacecraft. Both were placed at the L<sub>2</sub> [[Lagrangian point]] between the Earth and Sun, from where they will be used for astronomy. Herschel carries an [[Infrared astronomy|infrared]] telescope whilst Planck carries an optical one. The fourth observatory to be launched was the [[Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer]], or WISE, which is a replacement for the [[Wide Field Infrared Explorer]] which failed shortly after launch. WISE was launched into a [[Sun-synchronous orbit]] by a Delta II on 14 December, and will be used for infrared astronomy. Repairs made to the [[Hubble Space Telescope]] during [[STS-125]] restored it to full operations after a series of malfunctions in 2008.

Two [[Exploration of the Moon|lunar probes]] were launched in 2009; the [[Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter]] and [[LCROSS|Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite]] were launched on a single [[Atlas V]] rocket on 18 June. LRO entered [[selenocentric orbit]] and began a series of experiments, whilst LCROSS remained attached to the [[Centaur (rocket stage)|Centaur]] upper stage of the carrier rocket, and flew past the Moon. After orbiting the Earth twice, LCROSS separated from the upper stage and both it and the Centaur impacted the [[Cabeus (crater)|Cabeus]] crater at the South Pole of the Moon, on 9 October. By observing the Centaur's impact, LCROSS was able to confirm the presence of water on the Moon.<ref name="LCROSS-Water"/> Several other Lunar probes ceased operations in 2009; [[SELENE#Okina (small relay satellite)|Okina]] impacted the far side of the Moon on 12 February, [[Chang'e 1]] was deorbited on 1 March, having completed its operations. [[SELENE|Kaguya]] was also deorbited following a successful mission, impacting near [[Gill (lunar crater)|Gill]] crater on 12 June. The [[Chandrayaan-1]] spacecraft failed on 29 August, having operated for less than half of its design life.

The [[Mars Science Laboratory]] and [[Fobos-Grunt]] missions to [[Mars]] had been scheduled for launch at the end of 2009, however both were delayed to 2011 to allow more time for the spacecraft to be developed. Fobos-Grunt, a sample return mission to Mars' [[natural satellite]] [[Phobos (moon)|Phobos]], would have carried the first Chinese planetary probe, [[Yinghuo-1]].

Several flybys occurred in 2009, with ''[[Cassini (spacecraft)|Cassini]]'' continuing to orbit [[Saturn]], passing close to a number of its natural satellites. In February, ''[[Dawn (spacecraft)|Dawn]]'' passed within {{convert|549|km}} of Mars, during a [[gravity assist]] manoeuvre for its journey to the [[asteroid belt]]. In September, ''[[MESSENGER]]'' made its third and final flyby of [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]] before entering orbit in 2011. Whilst the primary objective of the flyby, achieving a gravitational assist, was successful, the spacecraft entered [[safe mode]] shortly before its closest approach, which prevented it recording data as it flew away from the planet.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.planetary.org/news/2009/0930_MESSENGERs_Third_Gravity_Assist.html |title=Third Time's No Charm: MESSENGER's Third Gravity Assist Successful, But "Safe Mode" Interrupts Science |first=Emily |last=Lakdawalla |publisher=The Planetary Society |date=30 September 2009 |access-date=20 December 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091005024415/http://planetary.org/news/2009/0930_MESSENGERs_Third_Gravity_Assist.html |archive-date=5 October 2009 }}</ref> In November, the ''[[Rosetta (spacecraft)|Rosetta]]'' spacecraft performed its third and final gravity assist flyby of [[Earth]].

==Crewed spaceflight==
[[File:STS-125 launch cropped.jpg|thumb|left|Launch of {{OV|104}} on [[STS-125]], the last [[Hubble Space Telescope|Hubble]] servicing flight]]
Nine [[Human spaceflight|crewed]] launches occurred in 2009, the most since 1997. [[STS-119]], using {{OV|103}}, was launched on 15 March. It installed the last set of [[solar array]]s on the [[International Space Station]]. [[Soyuz TMA-14]], the 100th crewed [[Soyuz programme|Soyuz]] launch, delivered the [[Expedition 19]] crew in March. In May, {{OV|104}} conducted the final mission to service the [[Hubble Space Telescope]], [[STS-125]]. Several days later, [[Soyuz TMA-15]] launched with the ISS [[Expedition 20]] crew, brought the total ISS crew size up to six for the first time. This was also the 100th crewed spaceflight of the [[Soyuz programme]], excluding the original [[Soyuz T-10-1|Soyuz T-10]] mission which failed to reach space. In July, {{OV|105}} delivered the final component of the [[Japanese Experiment Module]] on mission [[STS-127]]. [[STS-128]], using ''Discovery'' in August, delivered supplies using the [[Multi-Purpose Logistics Module|''Leonardo'' MPLM]]. September saw the launch of [[Soyuz TMA-16]], with the ISS [[Expedition 21]] crew. This was the 100th crewed Soyuz mission reach orbit. In November, Space Shuttle ''Atlantis'' flew mission [[STS-129]], delivering two [[EXPRESS Logistics Carrier]]s to the ISS. The final crewed flight of the year, [[Soyuz TMA-17]], was launched on 20 December with the ISS [[Expedition 22]] crew.

[[File:Ares I-X launch 12.jpg|thumb|right|The launch of Ares I-X]]
Although not a spaceflight in its own right, the [[Ares I-X]] test flight was conducted on 28 October, with the rocket lifting off from [[Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39|Launch Complex 39B]] of the [[Kennedy Space Center]] at 15:30 GMT. The flight was successful and reached an altitude of around {{convert|46|km}}, within the upper atmosphere. A parachute failure during descent resulted in some damage to the first stage, which was recovered.

==Launch failures==
[[File:Orbiting Carbon Observatory launch from Vandenberg.jpg|left|thumb|OCO launches on a Taurus]]
Four orbital launch failures occurred in 2009. On 24 February, a [[Taurus (rocket)|Taurus-XL]] launched from the [[Vandenberg Air Force Base]] in California, United States, with the [[Orbiting Carbon Observatory]]. The payload fairing did not separate from the rocket, leaving the upper stage with too much mass to reach orbit. The stage, with spacecraft and fairing still attached, reentered the atmosphere, coming down off the coast of [[Antarctica]]. The second failure was a controversial [[North Korea]]n launch attempt using an [[Unha]] rocket to launch the [[Kwangmyŏngsŏng-2]] communications satellite. The launch was conducted on 5 April, and North Korea maintains that it successfully reached orbit, however no objects from the launch were tracked as having orbital velocity, and US radar systems tracking the rocket detected that it failed at around the time of third stage ignition, with debris falling in the Pacific Ocean.

A [[Soyuz-2 (rocket)|Soyuz-2.1a]] suffered a failure during the launch of [[Meridian 2]] on 21 May, due to the premature cutoff of the second core stage of the carrier rocket. The satellite was placed in a lower than planned orbit, which it was initially expected to be able to correct by means of its onboard propulsion system, and the launch was reported to be a partial failure. By the time of the next Meridian launch in 2010 it had been confirmed that the satellite could not correct its own orbit, and that the mission was a failure.<ref name="meridian">{{cite web|url=http://www.russianspaceweb.com/meridian.html |title=The Meridian satellite (14F112) |first=Anatoly |last=Zak |work=RussianSpaceWeb |access-date=3 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110526025425/http://www.russianspaceweb.com/meridian.html |archive-date=26 May 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> On 25 August, the Naro-1 rocket was launched on its maiden flight, however one half of the payload fairing failed to separate, and it did not reach orbit.

On 31 August a [[Long March 3B]] placed the [[Palapa-D]] satellite into a lower than expected orbit after its third stage gas generator burned through, resulting in an engine failure at the start of the second burn.<ref name="Burnthrough" /> The satellite was able to raise itself to its correct orbit at the expense of fuel which would have been used for five or six years of operations.<ref name="Burnthrough"/>

==Summary of launches==
In total, seventy eight orbital launches were attempted in 2009, with seventy five catalogued as having reached orbit, and the three outright launch failures, including the North Korean launch, not being catalogued. This is an increase of nine attempts compared to 2008, and eight more launches reached orbit. This continues a four-year trend of increasing annual launch rates. The United States [[National Space Science Data Center]] catalogued 123 spacecraft placed into orbit by launches which occurred in 2009.<ref name="NSSDC-2009">{{cite web|title=Spacecraft Query Results|url=http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftSearch.do?launchDate=2009&discipline=All|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121002031740/http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftSearch.do?launchDate=2009&discipline=All|url-status=dead|archive-date=2 October 2012|work=Master Catalog Search|publisher=NSSDC|access-date=24 May 2010}}</ref>

[[File:GOES-O launch.jpg|right|thumb|Launch of a Delta IV-M+(4,2) EELV with [[GOES 14]]]]
[[Suborbital spaceflight in 2009]] saw a number of [[sounding rocket]] and [[missile]] launches. New Zealand's [[Ātea-1]] sounding rocket was launched on 30 November, marking that country's first suborbital flight. Russia twice attempted launches of its [[RSM-56 Bulava|Bulava]] missile, however both launches failed. The second failure, which occurred on 9 December, resulted in a [[2009 Norwegian spiral anomaly|spiral pattern]] which was observed in the sky over [[Norway]]. The [[SpaceLoft-XL]] rocket experienced another launch failure during its third flight, on 2 May. The payload section separated from the rocket whilst it was still burning, and as a result the vehicle did not reach space.<ref name="SL3-Report">{{cite web|url=http://www.upaerospace.us.com/pressreleases/spaceloftsl3mission.html|title=SpaceLoft SL-3 Mission Summary|publisher=UP Aerospace|date=7 May 2009|access-date=20 December 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091130202151/http://www.upaerospace.us.com/pressreleases/spaceloftsl3mission.html| archive-date= 30 November 2009 | url-status= dead}}</ref> It had been carrying samples of cremated human remains for [[Celestis]], and student experiments.

===By country===
China conducted six launches in 2009; satellite problems early in the year followed by the fallout of the August partial launch failure resulted in many planned launches slipping into 2010. Europe launched seven [[Ariane 5]] rockets, six in the ECA configuration and one in the GS configuration. It had also intended to launch the first [[Vega (rocket)|Vega]] rocket, however this was delayed due to ongoing development issues, which had already left the project several years behind schedule. India conducted two launches of [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle]]s, however the first flight of a new variant of the [[Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle]] with an Indian-built upper stage slipped into 2010. Japan conducted three launches; two using the [[H-IIA]], plus the first H-IIB. Russia and the former Soviet Union conducted twenty nine launches, not including the international Sea and Land launch programmes, which conducted four, and the single Naro-1 launch conducted in cooperation with South Korea.

The United States made twenty four launch attempts, with the [[Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle]]s accounting for eight; the most EELV launches in a single year to date. Eight Delta II launches were also made, including its last mission with a [[GPS satellite]], and its last flight with a payload for the [[United States armed forces]]. As the Delta II programme wound down, [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Space Launch Complex 17|Space Launch Complex 17A]] at the [[Cape Canaveral Air Force Station]], one of the oldest operational launch pads in the world, was deactivated. [[SpaceX]] launched a single Falcon 1, which successfully placed an operational satellite into orbit for the first time. This was the final flight of the Falcon 1, which was subsequently retired from service in favour of the [[Falcon 1e]].<ref name="F1-retired" /> At the start of the year, a mockup [[Falcon 9]] was erected on its launch pad at Canaveral, however the type's maiden flight slipped into 2010.

Sea Launch only conducted a single launch in 2009; a [[Zenit-3SL]] launched [[Sicral 1B]] in April. In June, the company was declared bankrupt,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0906/24sealaunch/|title=Court filings detail Sea Launch's bankruptcy|date=24 June 2009|publisher=Spaceflight Now|first=Stephen|last=Clark|access-date=1 January 2010|archive-date=29 August 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090829195838/http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0906/24sealaunch/|url-status=live}}</ref> and subsequently it lost a number of launch contracts.<ref name="SFN-RBST">{{cite web|url=http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0911/20commercial/|title=Rocket barons share thoughts on launch industry|date=20 November 2009|publisher=Spaceflight Now|first=Stephen|last=Clark|access-date=1 January 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20091231021003/http://spaceflightnow.com/news/n0911/20commercial/| archive-date= 31 December 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref> By the end of the year it was expecting to resume launches in 2010.<ref name="SFN-RBST"/> Its subsidiary, Land Launch, conducted three launches. Iran made its [[Timeline of first orbital launches by country|first successful indigenous orbital launch]], however planned follow-up launches had not been conducted by the end of the year. North Korea made one launch which it claimed had successfully placed a satellite into orbit, however no such satellite was detected by any country capable of doing so. [[Israel]] was not reported to have scheduled or conducted an orbital launch attempt.
