About This Launch Schedule
This page displays every upcoming orbital launch worldwide, sourced from Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs and enriched with simulated flight telemetry, embedded webcasts, and mission context by Orbital Radar. Data refreshes automatically every 5 minutes — countdowns update in real time so you always know exactly when the next mission lifts off.
When a launch goes live, the page transforms into a mission control experience: the official provider webcast embeds automatically, a simulated flight profile displays expected altitude, velocity, and acceleration based on the vehicle's nominal ascent trajectory, and the stage event timeline lights up in sequence from liftoff through payload deployment.
Launch Status Definitions
Go for Launch
All systems and weather are go — launch is expected to proceed at the scheduled time.
TBC
To Be Confirmed — launch date is expected but not officially locked in by the provider.
TBD
To Be Determined — launch is planned but no firm date has been set.
Hold
Launch has been paused or scrubbed — awaiting a new attempt window.
In Flight
The vehicle has left the pad — mission is in progress.
Success
Mission completed successfully — payload(s) delivered to the target orbit.
Simulated Flight Telemetry
When a launch reaches T-0, the telemetry panel activates and displays a simulated flight profile based on the vehicle's publicly known nominal ascent trajectory. This includes altitude, velocity, downrange distance, and acceleration — along with a live-updating flight profile chart and stage event timeline.
💡 Note
The telemetry shown is a simulated nominal profile, not live data from the rocket. It represents the expected flight path for the vehicle type. Actual flight parameters may differ.
Flight profiles are currently available for Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship, Electron, Ariane 6, Long March variants, PSLV, H-IIA, and Soyuz. Additional vehicles are added as data becomes available.
Major Active Launch Providers (2026)
SpaceX dominates the global launch market with the Falcon 9, averaging 2–3 launches per week. Most missions deploy batches of Starlink satellites, though Falcon 9 also serves commercial, government and national security payloads. SpaceX's Starship super heavy-lift vehicle continues test flights from Starbase, Texas.
Rocket Lab operates the Electron small-sat launcher from pads in New Zealand and Virginia.
ULA (United Launch Alliance) flies the Vulcan Centaur and the legacy Atlas V for US national security and commercial missions.
Arianespace operates Ariane 6 from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana.
ISRO launches the PSLV and GSLV from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India.
CASC (China) operates the Long March rocket family, including the Long March 5B.
How to Watch Launches
Most launches are webcast live by their provider. When a live webcast is detected, this page automatically embeds the stream — no need to leave. SpaceX streams on X and YouTube, Rocket Lab streams on YouTube, and ULA streams via their website. Webcasts typically begin 15–30 minutes before liftoff.
🎵 Ambient Mode
Use the music toggle on the video player for an immersive ambient soundtrack while awaiting launch. The generative audio creates a unique chillstep atmosphere inspired by launch broadcast holds.
Frequently Asked Questions
SpaceX typically launches every 2–3 days, primarily Falcon 9 missions carrying Starlink satellites or commercial payloads. Check the live countdown at the top of this page for the exact next launch time and mission details.
As of 2026, there are roughly 200+ orbital launches per year globally. SpaceX alone accounts for the majority, averaging 2–3 launches per week. Other active providers include Rocket Lab, ULA, Arianespace, ISRO and CASC.
Yes. When a launch provider starts their official webcast, this page detects it and embeds the stream automatically. You'll also see simulated telemetry, a stage event timeline, and real-time status updates alongside the video.
NET stands for "No Earlier Than" — the earliest time a launch is expected to occur. Launch windows can shift due to weather, technical holds and range scheduling, so times shown here represent the latest available estimate.
The flight profile data is based on publicly available nominal ascent profiles for each vehicle type. It shows expected altitude, velocity, acceleration, and stage events — not actual live data from the rocket. Think of it as "what should be happening right now" based on the vehicle's known flight characteristics.
Yes! Once a satellite is catalogued (typically 24–72 hours after launch), it appears on the Orbital Radar live globe and in the satellite directory where you can track it in real time.
Click "Add to Calendar" on any launch to download an .ics file that adds the launch window to your calendar app with a reminder. You can also click the "Notify Me" button to receive a browser push notification 15 minutes before liftoff — no app install needed. The calendar event includes the mission name, provider, pad location and a link back to this page.
Check the live countdown at the top of this page to see today's launches. SpaceX Falcon 9 missions launch most frequently, typically every 2–3 days. The countdown updates in real-time and shows the vehicle, mission name, launch pad, and exact NET time. You can also filter the upcoming list by provider or date range.
Rocket launches from Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center in Florida are visible from much of the Space Coast. Vandenberg SFB launches are visible along the California central coast. This page shows each launch's pad location and can estimate whether the launch may be visible from your area based on your distance from the pad.
SpaceX's Starship super heavy-lift vehicle launches from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. Check the upcoming launches list on this page and filter by SpaceX to see the next scheduled Starship flight test. Starship missions are designated IFT (Integrated Flight Test) followed by a number.
