🚀 The Launch Schedule
The next 15 things scheduled to leave the planet, from The Space Devs' Launch Library 2 — the same open, free, no-account-required database most launch trackers are quietly built on. Somewhere on this list is a rocket that is being fuelled right now.
Every time below is shown in your own clock, worked out by your browser, because a schedule in somebody else's timezone is a puzzle rather than a schedule. And when the launch desk hasn't actually committed to a time yet, this page says so instead of inventing one — an honest "no confirmed time" beats a confident wrong minute.
Your browser has JavaScript switched off — very 1999, entirely welcome. The full manifest is below; the times are in UTC, as noted on each one, and there's no countdown.

Nothing on the manifest right now, which almost certainly means our source is having a quiet moment rather than that humanity has stopped.

🛰️ Where this comes from, and what it can't tell you
- Launch Library 2, by The Space Devs — a free, open, community-maintained launch database. This page calls it through our own server once every twenty minutes, never from your browser, so that a thousand visitors cost their volunteers one request.
- NET means "no earlier than." Most entries here are targets, not appointments. Rockets slip for weather, for boats in the range, for a valve that reads two degrees warm — and every one of those slips is the safety system doing exactly its job.
- A "to be confirmed" time is not a wrong time, it's an honest one. Where upstream will only commit to a day, or a month, that is all this page prints. We would rather be vague with you than precise at you.
- For a livestream on the day, the provider's own channel is nearly always the best seat: NASA, ESA, or whoever is flying.
