No Falcon Heavy Launches From The Cape In 2025 Is Part of the Fallout

Astrobotic has announced that its Griffin-1 lunar mission is now targeting July 2026, a shift that gives engineers time to complete propulsion integration and qualify the lander’s engines. Their update, published today, also outlines steady progress on systems from tanks to software as the company prepares to deliver multiple payloads to the Moon’s south-polar Nobile region.

With this news, any chance of a Falcon Heavy launch from Kennedy Space Center in 2025 is now kaput.
