Rocket Launch & Space Viewing Watch

Why this is recommended

A viewing ticket for a crewed launch before it sells out, a scrub caught before a six-hour drive, or a night launch visible from a backyard 400 miles away each is worth the fee.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

The 5 million people who travel to see a launch each year and the space fans within a few hours of a launch site.

When it runs

Launch dates firm up 7 to 14 days out and slip daily, and viewing area tickets at Kennedy and Vandenberg sell out within hours of a crewed launch announcement

Scope

NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab and Firefly launch schedules; Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Vandenberg viewing programs; Space Force range schedules; FAA closures and TFRs; Boca Chica road closures; Wallops and Cape Canaveral public viewing sites

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Upcoming launches from Florida, California, Texas and Virginia with windows, vehicles and visibility, crewed and major mission dates, Kennedy and Vandenberg viewing ticket on-sales, Starship test flight dates and road closures, reentry and splashdown viewing, launch scrubs and reschedules, and night launch visibility from populated areas, with the mission and the date first.

Track rocket launches for US spectators. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days and the coming 21 days: launches from Cape Canaveral, Kennedy, Vandenberg, Boca Chica, Wallops and other US sites with windows, vehicles, missions and expected visibility; crewed and major mission target dates including Artemis, Crew Dragon, Starliner and Starship; Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Vandenberg viewing ticket on-sales and sellouts; road closures and public viewing area status at Boca Chica; scrubs, slips and reschedules with new windows; capsule reentry and splashdown locations and times; and night launches visible from major cities with expected direction and time. Prefer NASA, launch provider, Space Force, FAA, visitor complex and county sources; ignore unconfirmed schedule rumors. Put the mission and the date first in the title. Use high severity for a crewed launch within 7 days, a viewing ticket on-sale, or a slip affecting a launch within 48 hours. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for the launch, the window, where to watch, what could change, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
