Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next rocket launch?
The next scheduled orbital launch is shown at the top of the page with a live countdown to liftoff (the T-0 time), along with the rocket, launch provider and launch site. The full list below shows the next twenty launches worldwide in time order. Times are shown in your own time zone.
Where does the launch data come from?
The schedule comes from the free Launch Library 2 API by The Space Devs, a community-maintained database of orbital and suborbital launches. Your browser requests the upcoming launches directly and displays them. Launch dates can change at short notice, so a time marked TBD or TBC is not yet confirmed.
Is it free and do I need an API key?
Yes — the launch tracker is completely free and needs no API key or sign-up. It works straight away with nothing to configure. There is no account, no paid tier and no advertising anywhere on the page.
What do the launch statuses mean?
Go means the launch is confirmed and on schedule. TBD (to be determined) and TBC (to be confirmed) mean the date is provisional and may move. Hold means a countdown was paused. Success, Failure and In Flight describe launches that have already lifted off. Statuses update as launch teams release new information.
Which launch providers are included?
All of them — the list covers every provider in the database, including SpaceX, NASA, United Launch Alliance, Rocket Lab, Arianespace, Roscosmos, ISRO, Blue Origin and China's CASC, among others. Each entry names the provider so you can spot the launches you care about.
