Next rocket launch — live countdown in your timezone
Track every upcoming orbital rocket launch with a live countdown in your own timezone, the latest Go / Scrubbed status, where to watch the stream, and one-tap calendar reminders.
Upcoming launches
Never miss a rocket launch
Launch Window tracks every upcoming orbital rocket launch and shows exactly when the next one lifts off — in your own timezone, with a live countdown, the latest Go / Scrubbed status, where to watch it, and one-tap calendar reminders.
Every launch time is converted automatically to your device's local timezone — no UTC math. The status reflects the latest update from the launch provider, and you can drop any launch straight into your calendar. We never guess a to-the-second time when only an approximate date is confirmed.
Rocket launch FAQ
What timezone are the launch times shown in?
Every countdown and launch time on Launch Window is converted automatically to your device's local timezone — no UTC math. If you travel or change your clock, reload and the times follow you.
What does "scrubbed", "hold", or "TBD" mean?
A scrub is a launch called off for the day (usually weather or a technical issue) and rescheduled. A hold is a pause in the countdown that may still resume within the window. TBD/TBC means the provider hasn't locked a precise time yet — we show a targeted date instead of a fake to-the-second clock. See how to watch for more.
How accurate is the countdown?
We only show a live to-the-second countdown when the launch provider has confirmed a precise time. When only an approximate date is set, we show "No earlier than" and a targeted date rather than guessing. The status pill reflects the latest Go / Hold / Scrubbed update from the provider's feed.
Where can I watch the launch live?
When an official webcast is available, the "Watch live" button and an embedded player appear on the launch's detail page. Streams usually go live 15–45 minutes before liftoff. Our how-to-watch guide lists where each provider streams.
Can I see a rocket launch from where I live?
Sometimes — it depends on your distance from the pad, the time of day, and the weather. Try Is a launch visible tonight? to check the next launch against your location, and the viewing guide for the best in-person spots.
Can I get a reminder before launch?
Yes — tap Add to calendar on any launch to drop it into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook as a one-tap event, so you get your device's normal reminder before liftoff.
