Agency
SpaceX
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.
I hope for a successful launch.Have a good time.
How accurate is the countdown clock usually on this site? I want to come down from Northern Cal to see a RTLS but need a planning window.
The countdown and date and time are updated with the most accurate information at the time. The launch date for this launch has not been set yet noted by the TBD status. Keep in mind launch dates and times change often. Check back for updates.
Thank you!

The last launch we didn’t see from the west coast Palos verdes. Do you know the planned trajectory? Will we see this one?
Yes, it is available at the top of this page.
Why do they have different trajectories? Is it weather related or where they need to get to in space?
It depends on the mission and the orbit they would like to put the payload in space.
Hi, I am trying to make a trip to see the launch on 4/17 but don’t see this launch scheduled anywhere else like SpaceX website or base station. Anyone has a past experience on accuracy of this and is there a way to confirm the launch. Thank you very much!
