Every pad, every window, every destination. Live departures from Earth's launch sites, the ports of the Starship era, city-to-city rocket routes, and the road to the Moon and Mars — in one place.
Upcoming launches worldwide, updated live. Times are UTC and shift often — a spaceport board is never final until the clock hits zero.

Every Starship flight on record — hops, integrated tests and operational missions — pulled live from the launch library the moment a new one flies. Newest on the left; scroll the strip for the whole program.

The working spaceports of the SpaceX fleet today — and the ports being planned for tomorrow. Watch the network breathe: every active pad pings the planet, and the cities light up as the echo reaches them.
The first purpose-built Starship spaceport — factory, test site and launch complex in one, where the tower's arms are designed to catch returning boosters out of the sky.
The most storied pad on Earth: Apollo 11 and the Shuttle left from here, and today it hosts Falcon crew flights — with a Starship tower rising alongside.
The workhorse. The highest-tempo orbital pad in history, turning Falcon 9 missions around in days — the closest thing yet to airline operations for rockets.
The West Coast gateway. Launches thread south over open Pacific into polar and sun-synchronous orbits — the routes that map, watch and connect the whole planet.
Starship's future is more pads, not just bigger ones: a second tower and Gigabay at Starbase, Starship pads on the Cape, and studied concepts for sea-based platforms parked off major cities — the departure lounges of Earth-to-Earth travel. Every one of them will be tracked here as it breaks ground.
The most radical spaceport idea isn't about leaving Earth at all: Starship flying city to city on suborbital arcs, most of the trip spent coasting above the atmosphere. Concept flight times below are from SpaceX's 2017 Earth-to-Earth study. The globe below is live — it draws the real day/night line for this exact moment from the Sun's position, while Starships fly every route: boost, coast above the atmosphere, belly-first entry, flip and landing burn. Drag to spin it; hover a route to fly it.
Where the departure board points next. Three destinations, three very different trips — each one flown live below.
Eight and a half minutes to weightlessness. Crew Dragon already flies private missions; commercial stations are next in line to replace the ISS.
Three days out. A Starship variant is NASA's Artemis lander, built to set the next crew — the first in over fifty years — onto the lunar surface.
The reason Starship exists. The planets align for a crossing roughly every 26 months — uncrewed cargo ships go first, people follow.

One ticker now holds the departure network. SpaceX folded xAI in, then went public in the biggest IPO on record — launch, Starlink and Grok all trade together. What's inside, and where to watch it.
The whole stack in one listing since June 2026 — Space Exploration Technologies Corp., spanning launch, connectivity and AI.
No separate ticker — the constellation is SpaceX's connectivity segment and its biggest revenue engine, from home broadband to direct-to-cell.
Merged into SpaceX ahead of the IPO in a deal reported at $250B for xAI — bringing Grok and the Colossus clusters onto the same balance sheet as the rockets.
