🌤️ Weather at the main US launch sites
Latest observations from the airfield nearest each launch site. This is the weather right now, not a launch weather forecast.
Loading pad weather…
Observations (METAR): NOAA Aviation Weather Center. The go/no-go weather call for a launch comes from the launch provider and range weather officers, not from this page.
🔭 Watching a launch
Times slip. Check before you go
Launch times move often, and scrubs on the day are common. Check the launch provider's website or social accounts for the latest time before you head out.
Twilight launches put on the best show
Shortly after sunset or before sunrise, sunlight can still hit the exhaust plume high up while the sky is dark where you are, which can make it glow. It depends on the time and the sky.
Distance and the sound delay
You can see a launch from far away when the sky is clear, but the rocket looks small. Binoculars help. If you're close enough to hear it, the rumble arrives seconds after liftoff.
Florida's Space Coast
Around Cape Canaveral and Kennedy, people watch from public parks, beaches and riverfronts in places like Titusville, Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex sells viewing tickets for some launches.
Vandenberg and Starbase
Vandenberg launches are often visible from many parts of Southern California when the sky is clear. Near Starbase, the road and beach close for launches; follow the local closure notices.
Respect closures
Stay out of closed roads, beaches and restricted areas, and don't fly drones near launch sites. If you can't be there, the provider's webcast is the best seat.
Launches in Your World Weather Radar
🚀 Rocket launches on the radar map Premium
Part of the space overlays: pad pins with a T−0 countdown, and the ascent arc once the rocket lifts off. Tap a pad for its launch card.
🔔 Launch alerts Premium
A reminder an hour before liftoff, and an alert when the launch is in flight.
🎢 FEEL THE LAUNCH
A button on each launch card (see the clip at the top of this page). It opens an immersive 3D view of that launch in your browser: the countdown, liftoff and climb, from outside or inside the rocket, with a practice run you can try any time.
Launch cards are on the radar map, which shows launches with the Premium space overlays. Premium is $4.99/month or $47.99/year, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
Launch data: Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs, refreshed with each site update (about every 3 hours). Times change often and launches can slip or scrub without notice: check the launch provider for official times and information. Countdowns run in your browser from the snapshot and don't update by themselves when a launch moves. Launch-weather odds appear only when an official launch weather forecast is published.
