Mission Control — Launch Schedule & Active Missions

Launch schedule

Times are shown in your local timezone. A launch date only becomes exact once the operator confirms T‑0 — until then it is an estimate that can move by days.

Launch map

Every site with a launch on the manifest, plotted where it actually sits. The shaded band is the Earth's night side right now — it moves as you watch. Select a site to see what is flying from it.

Operators

The agencies and companies flying the manifest above, with their all‑time flight record. Success rate counts every launch the operator has ever attempted, not just recent ones.

Star tracker

The naked-eye sky right now, from wherever you're standing — computed live client-side from Greenwich Sidereal Time, the same solar-geometry math behind the launch map's terminator. No sky-map service involved: 200 stars to roughly 5th magnitude and 21 traditional constellations, positions from the Hipparcos catalog.

Enter a latitude and longitude, or use your location, to render the sky above you.
