Rocket Launch Tracker

Where to look for the next rocket launch

LaunchGazer tells you exactly where to point your eyes in the sky for any upcoming rocket launch — SpaceX Falcon 9, Rocket Lab Electron, ULA Vulcan, and more. Enter your location, pick a mission, and instantly get a compass bearing, real-time viewing conditions, and a twilight plume forecast from wherever you are.

Whether tonight's launch is visible from your city depends on your distance from the pad and the weather overhead. LaunchGazer calculates both in seconds — no account or app download needed.

What you get

• ›Compass bearing — the precise direction from your location to the launch pad, computed for every mission worldwide
• ›Viewing conditions — live cloud cover, visibility, and precipitation probability at your exact position
• ›Twilight plume predictor — know in advance whether the rocket exhaust plume will glow pink and gold in the last light of dusk or first light of dawn
• ›Live countdown — T-minus timer for each mission so you're ready at the window

Supported launch sites

Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Vandenberg Space Force Base, Wallops Flight Facility, and launch pads worldwide. If it's in the launch schedule, LaunchGazer can point you to it.
