Data: Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs, downloaded by your browser and kept for 15 minutes to respect their free limits. Launch times change often, especially in the last days before liftoff.
The schedule lists every orbital launch planned worldwide, from SpaceX Falcon 9 missions to Chinese Long March, Indian PSLV and GSLV, European Ariane and Vega, Japanese H3 and Rocket Lab Electron flights. All times are converted to your device’s time zone. Use the filters to follow one company or country, or tap a launch site on the map to see what is coming up there.
Many launches have a window, a stretch of time in which the rocket can lift off. Launches to the International Space Station often have an “instantaneous” window of a single second, so a short delay means trying again the next day. Weather, wind high up in the atmosphere, boats in the hazard area and technical issues all cause scrubs; it is normal for a launch to slip a few times. The schedule refreshes every 15 minutes while the page is open, and the countdown moves to the new time automatically.
Recently more than 250 orbital launch attempts a year worldwide, more than in any period before, with SpaceX alone launching well over 100 times a year. That is why there is often a launch every day or two.
Launches depend on weather, the readiness of the rocket and its payload, and the orbit the mission needs. Dates far in the future are rough estimates, and even confirmed launches are often delayed by a day or more.
No Earlier Than. It is the earliest date the launch could happen. The real date is often later.
