Location
Launch Complex 39A
Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA
225 rockets have launched from Kennedy Space Center, FL, USA.
Core Landing
B1060 has successfully landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
A Shortfall of Gravitas – ASOG
The fourth ASDS barge, A Shortfall of Gravitas (ASOG) is currently used to recover Falcon 9 and Heavy boosters in the Altantic Ocean.
Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship – ASDS
An autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) is an ocean-going vessel derived from a deck barge, outfitted with station-keeping engines and a large landing platform. Construction of such ships was commissioned by aerospace company SpaceX to allow for recovery of rocket first-stages at sea for high-velocity missions which do not carry enough fuel to return to the launch site after lofting spacecraft onto an orbital trajectory.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
Go SpaceX , ” we must use time as a tool, not a couch”
is this one going to land back at the Cape or off shore ???
Probably not. Keep checking back, the landing information will be displayed on this page when it is available.
Hey admin. When i click the calendar it used to open iPhone calendar to add a entry. That feature doesn’t work anymore. I tried a reinstall.
Thanks for letting us know. We are aware of the issue and are working on a fix for the next version.
Off shore and it was successful once again for the 103rd time for the first stage , what a record .
Are we going to have flightclub infor for this?
Keep checking back here. When it is available a link will show up under the Mission section.
Not this time Danny for some reason.?
Where can we find the trajectory map for viewing?
Keep checking back here. When it is available a link will show up under the Mission section.
Which direction will it travel? North along East coast?
The trajectory information will be available in a link under the Mission section of this page when it is available.
I am checking launches to other sites and this launch does not match other sites for the date. How sure is this? I am actually hoping to see in person so watching closely.
Until the status is “Go for Launch” the date and time may change.
Hey There guys.This is just Aaron here.I just want to say “Light this Candle,Spacex.
Right on Aaron, but we need to wait another 24 hours now till launch , the match to light the candle is a little wet at present but it will happen.
Go SpaceX.
B1060 will attempt to land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
What direction is the flight path?
Click on the link under the Mission section of this page.
When I open the app, it says I’m not connected to the internet. But I am! What gives?
During the last couple of launches, the servers have been overloaded with all the traffic. We are working on a fix for the issue.
Another A-1 Launch SpaceX , seems more folks are watching these launches now due to increase server traffic online .
Got to get online early now to watch it all , so the interest in “space” is increasing which is great .
