Where the launches come from
Rocket launches: common questions
When is the next rocket launch?
The table lists every launch scheduled worldwide, soonest first, with its rocket, launch site and mission. Times are in UTC and often slip; the status column shows whether a date is confirmed.
Which launches are military?
Launches whose mission is listed as government, military or top secret are marked, such as US Space Force and national reconnaissance missions. Military ballistic missile tests are not included.
Does this include missile tests?
No. The data covers launches to orbit and some suborbital space flights. North Korean or other ballistic missile tests are covered by the news on the War Room.
Where does the launch data come from?
From The Space Devs’ Launch Library 2, a community-run database of launches, used under the Apache 2.0 licence. This page checks it every 30 minutes.
Can I watch launches from the UK?
Some launches can be seen from Britain on a clear night, mostly as passing satellites. The UK’s own spaceports have no launches scheduled in this list unless one appears in the table.
