JELLYFISH CHANCE

A forecast from the projected flight path: cloud and the real trajectory decide what you actually see. We use your approximate city unless you choose your exact location, which stays on your device.

How Launch HQ works

T-0

Live countdown, honest holds

The clock follows the official T-0, corrected for your device's clock. If a launch holds, recycles or scrubs, the page says so and shows the new time.

MAP

Projected flight path

The map, altitude, speed and stage timeline come from a projected profile for each rocket, timed to the mission's published events. The live marker only moves once liftoff is confirmed, and it's always labelled projected.

SKY

See it pass over you

Check whether the launch climbs above your horizon, and once the satellites reach orbit, see when they cross your sky with pass predictions.

Questions

When is the next rocket launch?

The next orbital launch is Long March 2C carrying Payload TBC from Xichang, China, no earlier than Thursday 5 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The schedule on this page lists every orbital launch in the coming weeks.

Can I see the SpaceX launch tonight from where I live?

Often, if you're within a few hundred kilometres of the pad and the sky is clear. Launches near dusk or dawn can light up the sky much further away. Each launch on this page shows a visibility forecast for your area.

Where can I watch a rocket launch live?

Here. The official webcast appears on this page when the provider goes live. When a stream can't be shown here, we link straight to it.

What does NET mean?

"No earlier than." It's the earliest time a launch can happen. Launches often move later, never earlier.

Why do launches get scrubbed?

Weather, a technical issue with the rocket or pad, a boat or plane in the hazard area, or the recovery ship not being ready. A new attempt usually follows a day or more later.
