Atlas V 551 | Amazon Leo (LA-05)
Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.
Spectrum | Onward and Upward
Second test flight of the Isar Spectrum launch vehicle. This launch will carry 5 cubesats and 1 non-separable experiment as part of European Space Agency (ESA)'s “Boost!” program: * CyBEEsat (TU Berlin) * TriSat-S (University of Maribor) * Platform 6 (EnduroSat) * FramSat-1 (NTNU) * SpaceTeamSat1 (TU Wien Space Team) * Let It Go (Dcubed, non-separable experiment)
Electron | Daughter Of The Stars (LEO-PNT Pathfinder A)
The European Space Agency (ESA)'s LEO-PNT (Low Earth Orbit Positioning, Navigation and Timing) demonstrator mission will feature a 10-satellite constellation demonstration mission that will assess how a low Earth orbit fleet of satellites can work in combination with the Galileo and EGNOS constellations in higher orbits that provide Europe’s own global navigation system. This launch will lift 2 “Pathfinder A” satellites built by Thales Alenia Space and GMV to a 510 km altitude Low Earth Orbit.
Falcon 9 Block 5 | Transporter 16 (Dedicated SSO Rideshare)
Dedicated rideshare flight to a sun-synchronous orbit with dozens of small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers.
Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer A
Tranche 1 Transport Layer A is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance. This launch carries 21 satellites manufactured by Northrop Grumman.
GSLV Mk II | GISAT-1A (EOS-05)
GISAT-1A (GEO Imaging Satellite) is an Indian earth observing satellite operating from geostationary orbit to facilitate continuous observation of Indian sub-continent, quick monitoring of natural hazards and disaster.
New Glenn | BlueBird Block 2 #2
AST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites are designed to deliver up to 10 times the bandwidth capacity of the BlueBird Block 1 satellites, required to achieve 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service coverage in the United States, with beams designed to support a capacity of up to 40 MHz, enabling peak data transmission speeds up to 120 Mbps, supporting voice, full data and video applications. The Block 2 BlueBirds, featuring as large as 2400 square foot communications arrays, will be the largest satellites ever commercially deployed in Low Earth orbit once launched. This launch will feature 1 satellite, BlueBird 7/BlueBird Block 2 FM2.
Vulcan | GPS III SV10
Tenth of ten GPS III missions.
Electron | Kakushin Rising (JAXA Rideshare)
JAXA-manifested rideshare of eight separate spacecraft that includes educational small sats, an ocean monitoring satellite, a demonstration satellite for ultra-small multispectral cameras, and a deployable antenna that can be packed tightly using origami folding techniques and unfurled to 25 times its size. The satellites were originally planned to launch with RAISE-4 on a Japanese Epsilon-S rocket, but the Epsilon-S was heavily delayed due to test firing failures. The 8 satellites are: * MAGNARO-II * KOSEN-2R * WASEDA-SAT-ZERO-II * FSI-SAT2 * OrigamiSat-2 * Mono-Nikko * ARICA-2 * PRELUDE

Understanding Launch Status
Go / Confirmed
The launch has been confirmed by the space agency with a specific date and time. Weather and technical checks still apply, but the mission is officially scheduled and likely to proceed as planned.
TBD / TBC
To Be Determined or To Be Confirmed. The launch is planned but the exact date/time hasn't been finalized. This is common for missions early in their planning phase or awaiting regulatory approval.
Hold / Delayed
The launch has been delayed from its original schedule. This can occur due to weather, technical issues, range conflicts, or payload preparation delays. A new launch date will be announced.

Why Watch Space Launches?
Every space launch is a remarkable achievement of human engineering and ambition. Watching a rocket launch—whether live in person or via livestream—is witnessing the moment when years of planning, design, and preparation culminate in a controlled explosion that propels tons of metal and fuel into the sky at thousands of miles per hour.
Modern space launches serve diverse purposes: deploying communication satellites that enable global internet, sending scientific instruments to study Earth's climate, delivering supplies to astronauts aboard the ISS, launching telescopes to observe distant galaxies, and sending rovers to explore other planets.
By tracking launches on Spaceflight Tracker, you're staying connected to humanity's ongoing journey of exploration and discovery. Each mission brings us closer to understanding our universe and expanding our presence beyond Earth.
