Launch-site satellite map

Coordinates come from the current launch record. This map shows launch pads, not a flight trajectory or viewing prediction.

Upcoming missions

Recent results already available in cache

Only completed records already fetched by the site are shown. This is a partial archive; an absent result does not mean the launch failed. No extra archive API requests are made.

Launch status

Select a status badge to see what it means.

A schedule status is not a guarantee of liftoff. Confirm launch progress with the operator’s coverage.

Schedules are refreshed through the existing shared cache. Normal feed records may omit webcast, booster or timeline details; open the existing mission-details page to check its fuller source record. Saved calendar entries do not update automatically when a launch moves.

Schedule precision: The T-0 is accurate to the second. A precise-looking countdown is still a schedule target, not a guarantee of liftoff.

Mission details

A batch of 27 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.

Current status: The launch vehicle successfully inserted its payload(s) into the target orbit(s).

Launch time, window and countdown

The displayed local time is converted by your browser from the published international timestamp. Spaceflight schedules frequently use terms such as NET (No Earlier Than), TBD or broader day/month targets. Spaceflight Now explicitly distinguishes NET and TBD on its public schedule, and NASA also publishes launches with labels such as “No Earlier Than” and “Under Review.” For that reason, this page shows the upstream time precision instead of treating every date as equally firm.

Use the Next Rocket Launch page for the nearest mission, or compare more missions on the launches this week page. If a countdown reaches zero, confirm the operator’s live coverage before assuming liftoff occurred; holds and scrubs can happen very late in the sequence.

Rocket and launch site

Falcon 9 Block 5 is listed for this mission with SpaceX. The current launch record places the mission at Space Launch Complex 4E · Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA.

Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) is a launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, U.S. The pad was previously used by Atlas and Titan rockets between 1963 and 2005. The pad was built for use by Atlas-Agena rockets, but was later rebuilt to handle Titan rockets.

Launch pads and ranges matter because azimuth restrictions, overflight safety, recovery zones and target inclination can constrain when and how a mission flies. Browse the Rocket Launch Sites page to compare other active locations represented in the upcoming schedule.

After liftoff: continue tracking

If this mission deploys Earth-orbiting spacecraft, they can appear later in Recently Launched Satellites once public orbital elements are available. For spacecraft travelling beyond Earth orbit, use the Deep Space section. The launch event and the later orbital catalogue are separate datasets, so payload tracking may not be available immediately after liftoff.

Sources and schedule caveats

Launch schedule data and associated imagery on this page come from Launch Library 2 / The Space Devs and are cached server-side by SpaceTracker.live. Schedule records can change as providers update readiness, weather, range coordination or mission constraints.
