LAUNCH SITES: WHERE SPACEX FLIES FROM
SpaceX-built spaceport and production site, home of the Starship program. Launches of the fully reusable Starship/Super Heavy system take place here; the surrounding area is closed off before flights (see road closures).
Historic Apollo and Space Shuttle pad leased by SpaceX since 2014. Used for Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, including all crewed Dragon flights; a Starship pad is under construction on the site.
The workhorse pad: most Falcon 9 flights (Starlink, cargo, commercial and government payloads) lift off from this Space Force station pad.
SpaceX’s west-coast pad for polar and sun-synchronous orbits. Starlink polar shells and many Earth-observation missions launch here, with boosters landing nearby or on droneships in the Pacific.

SPACEX LAUNCHES, EXPLAINED
When is the next SpaceX launch?
The countdown at the top of this page shows the next scheduled SpaceX flight. It uses the official NET time, short for "no earlier than": a launch can slip later, but it will not lift off earlier than the time shown. Weather, technical checks and range conflicts move dates regularly, sometimes only minutes before liftoff, so check again close to launch day.
Where does SpaceX launch from?
From four sites. Cape Canaveral SLC-40 and Kennedy Space Center LC-39A in Florida carry most Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy flights, including crewed Dragon missions from LC-39A. Vandenberg SLC-4E in California is used for polar and sun-synchronous orbits, because rockets can fly straight south over the ocean from there. Starbase in South Texas is the Starship site. The launch-site panel above shows which one the next flight uses.
How can I watch a SpaceX launch live?
SpaceX streams its launches on its own channels, and coverage usually starts around 30 minutes before liftoff. The live-stream links on this page point straight at the official webcast when one is running. For Starship flights, road closures at Starbase are a useful early signal that an attempt is coming up.
What is SpaceX launching next?
Most Falcon 9 flights carry Starlink satellites for SpaceX's own internet constellation. The rest are customer payloads: commercial communications satellites, government and science missions, rideshare flights carrying many small satellites at once, and crew or cargo runs to the International Space Station. The mission name in the upcoming list tells you which kind it is.
How often does SpaceX launch?
More often than any other launch provider in the world, by a wide margin. We deliberately do not print a fixed number here, because the real cadence changes from month to month and a number in a static sentence would be wrong within weeks. The upcoming and recent lists on this page show what is actually planned and what actually flew.
What rocket is launching today?
This page covers SpaceX only. For every launch provider worldwide on one page, see the rocket launch schedule, or open the live map to see the next liftoff anywhere on Earth with its own countdown. Where all of this data comes from and how fresh it is, is documented under data sources.
