Upcoming launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the busiest spaceport on Earth. Times are shown in Eastern Time, with live countdowns.
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex sells launch-viewing tickets for many missions, with closer views than public areas and live commentary. Tickets for high-profile launches sell out fast.
The Space Coast is one of the easiest places in the world to watch a rocket launch. Most launches are visible across much of Brevard County, and big ones can be seen from Orlando and beyond. A few public spots are especially popular:
Jetty Park, Port Canaveral. A beach park south of the launch pads with a direct view across the water. Arrive early; parking fills on launch days.
Space View Park, Titusville. A riverside park on the Indian River directly across from Kennedy Space Center, popular with launch regulars.
Max Brewer Bridge and the Titusville waterfront. Open views east toward the Kennedy pads.
Playalinda Beach, Canaveral National Seashore. Among the closest public views of Kennedy's pads, but it closes for some launches, so check before you go.
Launch times shift and scrubs are common, so check the countdown above on the day. For streams, countdown terms, and what to expect, read our guide on how to watch a rocket launch.
