> When Is the Next Rocket Launch?
The next rocket launch is just ahead — and the live countdown at the top of this list ticks down to the exact liftoff moment. On any given week, agencies and companies around the world send dozens of rockets to orbit, so the "next launch" can change as schedules shift, windows open, and missions are scrubbed or rescheduled.
Below is the live, continuously updated schedule of upcoming launches, sorted soonest first. Each mission links to a full dossier with the launch window, rocket, launch site, mission details, and a live stream when one is available.
