US pads only; times in UTC.
Starlink launches leave a "train" of satellites that you can see for about a week: is there a Starlink train tonight? The schedule for those is on next Starlink launch.
At the last update (5 Nov 2026, 00:20 UTC), no launch from a US pad was scheduled within 36 hours.
Most US orbital launches fly from Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and from Vandenberg in California; SpaceX's Starship flies from Starbase, Texas. Night and twilight launches can be seen hundreds of kilometres away; daytime launches mostly from nearby.
Weather, technical checks, range availability and orbital timing all move launches, often by a day, sometimes minutes before liftoff. Launches marked 'Go for launch' have a confirmed time; 'To be confirmed' and 'Date to be decided' are tentative.
The span of time in which the rocket can lift off and still reach its planned orbit. Missions to a space station often have an instantaneous window: one exact second.
Schedule: Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs, fetched 5 Nov 2026, 00:20 UTC (); this page is rebuilt every 6 hours. Launch times move often, sometimes minutes before liftoff: check the launch provider's own channels on the day. Sky at liftoff and distances are computed by us.
