Frequently Asked Questions.
Everything about tracking rocket launches with T-Rocket.
When is the next rocket launch?
T-Rocket shows the next launch worldwide with a live countdown at the top of the map. All upcoming launches are listed in the side panel, sorted by liftoff time — SpaceX, NASA, Rocket Lab, Arianespace, CNSA, ISRO, Roscosmos and more.
How accurate are the launch countdowns?
Countdowns are based on the official NET ("no earlier than") time from Launch Library 2 and refresh every 10 minutes. Each launch shows a precision indicator, from second-exact to month-level estimates. Times can always shift due to weather or technical holds.
What do GO, TBC and TBD mean?
GO — launch confirmed for the listed time. TBC — date to be confirmed. TBD — date still to be determined. After liftoff, a launch shows SUCCESS, FAILURE or IN FLIGHT.
Why are some launch markers in the sea?
Those are real sea launches. China and South Korea launch rockets from ships and floating platforms — for example Gravity-1 lifts off from a vessel in the Yellow Sea. The marker shows the actual platform position.
Where does the data come from?
Launch data: Launch Library 2 · The Space Devs, the most complete open database of orbital launches. News: Spaceflight News API. Refreshed automatically about every 10 minutes.
Can I watch launches live?
Yes — open any launch and use the webcast section. Streams load only after you click play, directly from the provider.
Is T-Rocket free?
Yes — T-Rocket is completely free to use, with no account required.
When is the next SpaceX launch?
The live map shows every upcoming SpaceX launch with its own countdown. For a dedicated view, open the SpaceX Dashboard — next-launch countdown, upcoming and recent flights, live streams and Starship updates in one place.
How can I watch a Starship launch live?
Open the Starship page for the countdown to the next Starship flight and links to the official SpaceX webcast. SpaceX streams every Starship launch on its own channels; the webcast usually starts around 30 minutes before liftoff.
Where does SpaceX launch from?
From four sites: Starbase in South Texas (Starship), Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and Kennedy Space Center LC-39A in Florida (Falcon 9 / Falcon Heavy, including crewed flights), and Vandenberg SLC-4E in California for polar orbits. Details on the SpaceX Dashboard.
What rockets are launching today?
The launch schedule lists every rocket launch of the coming days as a simple table — liftoff times in your local time and UTC, rocket, mission, spaceport and status. The live map shows the same launches on the globe.
