The launch desk / schedule
Search missions, compare target times and check how firm each date is. Every time remains subject to the operator’s latest update.

The desk briefing
The next flight on this board is GSLV Mk II | IRNSS-1L (NVS-03), a GSLV Mk. II flight operated by Indian Space Research Organization from Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad, Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India, currently listed for . Times on this page are targets, not appointments: a mission can move inside its window, slip to a backup day, or hold while the board still shows the old plan. Before you plan around a launch, open its mission brief to check how precise the listed time really is, then read how to watch a launch online for the official broadcast and the milestones that follow liftoff. Starlink flights dominate this schedule — the Starlink guide explains the group names and the cadence behind them.
Earliest target first. Filters apply to loaded missions; load more to search further ahead. Date-only estimates stay in UTC.
This is a replacement satellite for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The constellation will provide India with an alternative to GPS and will be used for military and civilian use. Located at a geosynchronous orbit, the system will be operated by the Indian government.
A batch of 27 satellites for the Starlink mega-constellation - SpaceX's project for space-based Internet communication system.
Synthetic aperture radar Earth observation satellite for Japanese Earth imaging company iQPS.
Low Earth Orbit communication satellites with Ku, Q and V band payloads for the G60 constellation operated by Shanghai Spacesail Technologies with funding backed by the Shanghai local government. Initial constellation will consist of 1296 satellites by 2027 with long term plans to expand it to 12000 satellites.
A classified mission for the United States Space Force. It is possibly a batch of classified LEO satellites based on SpaceX’s Starshield satellite bus, based on locations of rocket stage drop zones being exact fits with previous Starlink Group 15 launches.
Note: Launch vehicle name is provisional. First orbital full version launch of the South Korean military small satellite launch vehicle, after 2 sub-orbital tests of individual stages on 30 March and 30 December 2022, and 1 orbital test flight without the 2nd stage on 4 December 2023. Details TBD.
Details TBD.
A batch of 9 Low Earth Orbit communication satellites for the Chinese state owned SatNet constellation operated by the China Satellite Network Group. The constellation will eventually consists of 13000 satellites.

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. 45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.

Progress resupply mission to the International Space Station.
Shenzhou 24 will be the 24th flight of the Shenzhou program. The first astronaut from Pakistan is expected to fly on this on a short duration mission, with another Chinese astronaut to undergo a year long expedition.
This is the 25th flight of the Orbital ATK's uncrewed resupply spacecraft Cygnus and its 24th flight to the International Space Station under the Commercial Resupply Services contract with NASA.
Fifteenth batch of satellites for a reconnaissance satellite constellation built by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman for the National Reconnaissance Office to provide imaging and other reconnaissance capabilities.
First uncrewed orbital test flight of the Gaganyaan capsule.
TDS-01 (Technology Demonstration Satellite-01) is an Indian geostationary orbit technology demonstration satellite carrying payloads for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s Institute of Plasma Research, Gandhinagar and the CSIR-CEERI, Pilani. Payloads to be tested included an internally developed 300 mN electric powered thrusters, atomic clocks, travelling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA) & a quantum communication suite (QuTDS).
15th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle and 4th flight of Starship V3.
Why there are so many Starlink flights, what the group names mean, and what happens in the hour after liftoff.

Read guide →Find the official broadcast, convert the full window and follow the flight milestones.
Read guide →The schedule loads 20 provider records at a time. Search and filters operate on that loaded set, including the mission name, vehicle, operator and launch site. If a mission is missing, load another batch before assuming it has been cancelled. The total is the provider’s catalogue count for this feed, not a count of confirmed flights this month.
All results are ordered by their listed target. A distant “Go” mission does not jump ahead of an earlier tentative flight. The briefing’s selected missions are kept separately because a flight can remain useful to follow after its launch.
UTC is the default and does not change with daylight-saving time. Switch to your device’s local time zone for minute- or second-level targets. The full date is shown because conversion can move a launch to the previous or following day. Coarse estimates remain in the source’s UTC date context; converting a month-level placeholder into a local clock time would add false precision.
| What you see | A useful next step |
|---|---|
| Go + minute/second precision | Check the operator’s current announcement and broadcast start. Keep the target provisional. |
| TBD / TBC + a clock time | Read the time as an estimate. A detailed timestamp does not override an unconfirmed status. |
| Month, quarter or year precision | Follow the campaign. Wait for a more specific date before scheduling your viewing. |
| Hold | Look for the operator’s explanation and revised opportunity. Do not extrapolate from the old timer. |
| Target already passed | Check the reported status. The timestamp alone does not establish whether the mission flew. |
First compare like with like: the same mission, the same launch attempt and the same time zone. One page may show broadcast start while another shows the launch target. A record can also retain the time of a scrubbed attempt until the next update. After those checks, use the operator’s newest announcement for immediate viewing decisions.
This site caches provider responses for 30 minutes; refreshing repeatedly does not guarantee newer information. If loading fails, the page states that the schedule is unavailable. If an additional batch fails, already loaded records stay visible. Neither case means that there are no upcoming launches.
The schedule snapshot time is when this page was assembled. A mission’s provider-update time, when supplied inside its brief, is when that record was changed upstream. Neither is a promise that the operator has published no later update.
Read the full schedule guide for a step-by-step reading order, or the launch field guide for a worked time-zone example. Methodology and attribution explain how data and editorial text are kept distinct.
