Frequently Asked Questions
How often do rockets launch from Cape Canaveral?
The Space Coast currently averages two to three launches per week, most of them SpaceX Falcon 9 missions from SLC-40 and LC-39A, plus ULA and Blue Origin missions. Launch dates shift often, so check the live schedule the day you plan to watch.
What time do rocket launches usually happen?
Launch times are driven by each mission's orbital requirements and can fall at any hour, day or night. Starlink missions often have instantaneous windows announced only days in advance. All times on this page are shown in Eastern Time.

Public viewing spots include Space View Park and Max Brewer Bridge in Titusville (best for LC-39A/B), Jetty Park and Port Canaveral (best for SLC-40/41), and the beaches in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral. Our viewing map ranks every spot by distance and view for the specific pad in use today.
How do I know if today's launch is delayed or scrubbed?
