Pick a launch and drop your location — we'll map the visibility footprint, tell you which way to look and how high the rocket gets, and rank the best public viewing spots near the pad. Florida's Space Coast, Vandenberg, and Starbase.
No visibility footprint for this launch
Set your location to see exactly where and when to look.
Visible. Easy to spot from a typical backyard. Above 12° elevation — well clear of low rooftops and tree lines.
Likely. Visible if you have a reasonably open view to the launch site. Above 5° elevation — clears most suburban obstructions.
Possible. Geometrically above your horizon. Needs an unobstructed view (ocean, open plains, hilltop) and clear air to actually see.
