The schedule
Every orbital and suborbital attempt on the books, newest window first. Times are the current NET — no-earlier-than — and they move constantly. A window marked to the day or the month means the operator has not committed to an hour yet.
Next attempt: Amazon Leo (LV-01) — 13 Nov
Every attempt below carries an Add to calendar link, or take the whole schedule at once and let it keep itself up to date — it re-checks every three hours, the same as the site.
A rocket is not a local event: two minutes off the pad it is a hundred kilometres up, which puts it above the horizon for anyone within about 1,212 km. Every attempt below says what the sky will be doing at the pad — the part that decides whether it is spectacular. Say where you are and each one will say whether you are inside the circle.

Launch times move. A date the operator has committed to the month arrives in your calendar as an all-day placeholder rather than a false midnight appointment, and everything here is written as tentative until it has flown.
Schedules are checked continuously against the operators and the range authorities. Where they disagree, the later confirmation wins. Full credits are on the credits page.
