How to Find Rocket Launches by Launch Site or Provider on RocketLaunch.org
Updated
RocketLaunch.org organizes its content around two main browse paths: Launch Sites and Launch Providers. If you already know where a launch happens (Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center, Vandenberg SFB, Starbase, and others) or who runs it (SpaceX, NASA, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, ULA, ESA, JAXA), you can go straight to that page instead of scanning the full launch list. The homepage also shows a "Rocket Launches Today" section with a live countdown and a weekly email alert option.
Browsing by Launch Site
The site maintains a dedicated Launch Sites section that lists the main launch locations worldwide, plus a Launch Sites Map for a geographic view.
Named sites you can browse include:
- Starbase
- Cape Canaveral
- Kennedy Space Center
- Vandenberg SFB
- Guiana Space Centre
- Baikonur Cosmodrome
Location groupings are also provided for the United States, Europe, Florida, Texas, and California, so you can narrow down by region rather than by a single pad.
Using the Launch Sites Map
The map view is the fastest route when you know the geography but not the site name — for example, you want to see what launches from the US East Coast versus the West Coast. Selecting a site on the map leads to that site's listing of launches.
Browsing by Launch Provider
The Launch Providers section covers all providers, with dedicated pages for the major ones:
| Provider | Dedicated page |
|---|---|
| SpaceX | SpaceX Launches |
| NASA | NASA Launches |
| Blue Origin | Blue Origin |
| Rocket Lab | Rocket Lab |
| ULA | ULA |
| ESA | ESA |
| JAXA | JAXA |
SpaceX is broken down further into vehicle-specific pages: Starship Next Launches, Falcon 9 Next Launches, and Falcon Heavy Next Launches. NASA similarly has an SLS Launches page.
Combining Site and Provider Filters
Site and provider pages intersect naturally. If you want only SpaceX flights from Florida, start from Cape Canaveral Launches or Kennedy Space Center Launches and look for Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy entries; if you want West Coast SpaceX activity, use Vandenberg SFB Launches. The same logic applies to NASA (Kennedy Space Center for most crewed and SLS activity) and to Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, and ULA, each of which appears on both its provider page and the relevant site pages.
Other Routes Into the Same Data
- Scheduled Launches — every upcoming launch in one list, useful when you have no site or provider preference.
- Past Launches — the same organization applied to completed missions.
- Rocket Launches Today — the homepage block showing how many launches are scheduled for the current day, with live countdown and video links.
- Annual Recaps — year-by-year summaries (2026, 2023, 2010, 2000, 1990, 1980, 1969) for historical browsing.
Staying Updated
The site offers a weekly email containing all launches scheduled for the coming week, set up via the "Create Alert" option. This is the practical choice if you follow a specific site or provider and don't want to check pages manually.
What Each Launch Entry Contains
A launch listing on these pages typically includes the mission name, launch status, date and time, location and pad, launch service provider, vehicle, mission type, destination orbit, and a mission description. For example, the Innospace HANBIT-Nano entries list the Alcântara Launch Center's HANBIT Pad, a Sun-Synchronous Orbit or Low Earth Orbit destination, and a "Last Update" timestamp — so you can judge how current the schedule is before planning around it.
Note that statuses can read TBD and dates can shift; the "Last Update" field is the signal for how recently that entry was revised.
