Starship | Flight 13

SpaceX · Starbase, Texas

To Be Confirmed

Wed, Jul 15 · 6:45 PM ET

Falcon 9 Block 5 | SDA Tranche 1 Transport Layer E

SpaceX · Vandenberg, California

To Be Confirmed

Thu, Jul 16 · 4:22 PM ET

Tranche 1 Transport Layer E is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites. The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.

Electron | LOXSAT 1

Rocket Lab · Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand

To Be Determined

Thu, Jul 16 · 8:00 PM ET (time may change)

LOXSAT 1 is a demonstration satellite of a complete cryogenic oxygen fluid management system in orbit, developed by Eta Space and sponsored by NASA's Tipping Point program. The system will be integrated on a Rocket Lab Photon-LEO satellite bus and collect critical cryogenic fluid management data in orbit for 9 months, demonstrating capabilities of in-space cryogenic storage and transferal. Eta Space plans to use technology developed for this mission to develop a truly commercial depot intended to serve multiple customers in the future.

Long March 7A | Unknown Payload

Watching from Florida?

Most US launches fly from the Space Coast — Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. If you’re in Orlando or anywhere near the coast, you can watch for free from a beach or riverfront.

Want to watch live online?

Every launch has an official webcast — SpaceX streams on X and its site, NASA on NASA+, ULA and Rocket Lab on YouTube. We keep the links in one place.
