Launch Calendar
This calendar shows all upcoming rocket launches worldwide, including SpaceX, ULA, Rocket Lab, and more. Powered by Next Spaceflight.
SpaceX Vehicle Fleet
- Falcon 9 — SpaceX's workhorse rocket and the most frequently launched orbital vehicle in history. Its first stage is reusable, routinely landing on drone ships at sea or back at the launch pad. It carries Starlink satellites, crew missions to the ISS, and commercial payloads.
- Falcon Heavy — The world's most powerful operational rocket, made from three Falcon 9 first-stage cores. Used for heavy payloads to geostationary orbit, deep space missions, and national security launches.
- Starship — SpaceX's next-generation, fully reusable super heavy-lift launch system. Designed to carry crew and cargo to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Test flights in 2025-2026 are pushing toward full orbital capability and booster catch maneuvers.
Where Do SpaceX Rockets Launch From?
- Kennedy Space Center, FL (LC-39A) — NASA's historic launch complex at Cape Canaveral, used for Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Starship missions. Most crew and high-profile missions launch from here.
- Cape Canaveral SFS (SLC-40) — SpaceX's busiest launch pad, handling the majority of Falcon 9 Starlink and commercial missions.
- Vandenberg SFB, CA (SLC-4E) — Used for polar orbit and sun-synchronous missions. If you're on the California coast, this is your chance to see a rocket launch in person.
- Starbase, Boca Chica, TX — SpaceX's private launch facility for Starship development and test flights. The site of the dramatic Super Heavy booster catches.
How to Watch a SpaceX Launch
SpaceX livestreams every launch on their YouTube channel and X (Twitter) account. Webcasts typically begin 15-20 minutes before the scheduled launch time. For in-person viewing at Cape Canaveral, popular spots include Jetty Park, Playalinda Beach, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
