When is the next rocket launch?
As of , when our collector read Launch Library 2, the next launch in its list is Nuri | NeonSat-2 to 6, planned for 7 October 2026, 03:23 UTC by Korea Aerospace Research Institute, status "Go for Launch". 13 launches are planned in the 30 days after it.
Data: The Space Devs, Launch Library 2. Launch times change often; check the provider for the latest. We add the counts, the map and the comparisons; the list is theirs.
What this means
- SpaceX has the most launches planned in the 30 days after the data time: 5 of 13 (38 percent). The top three providers together have 9 (69 percent).
- By the country of the pad, they are planned from 6 countries; the country with the most is United States, with 6 (46 percent).
- 7 of these 13 have a time to the hour or better; the other 6 have only a month, a quarter or another rough date, so their days are not set and they can fall later.
- The next launch with a time to the hour or better is Nuri | NeonSat-2 to 6, 7 October 2026, 03:23 UTC, about 23 hours after the data time.
- Launches planned in the 30 days after the data time: 13, against 13 in the previous build of this page (data as of 6 October 2026, 03:30 UTC), about the same.
- 7 October 2026, 03:23 UTCNext planned launch time in the list
- 13Launches planned in the 30 days after the data time
- 8Launches still to come with a time to the hour or better

Launches whose planned time has passed
None. Our collector asks Launch Library 2 for its upcoming list with recent launches left out, so this page has no history of past launches.
How this page is made
- Source: Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs, its list of upcoming launches, read by our collector once an hour (the free tier allows 15 calls an hour). The data time is when our collector read the list. Our collector keeps the next 30 launches; Launch Library 2 counted 471 upcoming launches in all.
- Times are in UTC. Launch Library 2 gives each planned time with its precision; we print a month or a quarter when that is all it gives, and the time to the minute only when it gives a time to the minute or the second.
- The 30 day counts use the planned times in the list. The page is published only when the list was read less than 6 hours ago; otherwise the previous copy stays.
- In "What this means", within 15 percent of the number it is compared with counts as about the same. A finding that needs the previous build's numbers is left out when there are none.
- The Space Devs' FAQ says the data can be used in any way and asks users not to forward it without adding value; this page adds the counts, the map and the comparisons. Whether that FAQ is a licence is not confirmed.
Questions
When is the next rocket launch?
In the list as our collector read it at 6 October 2026, 04:30 UTC: Nuri | NeonSat-2 to 6, 7 October 2026, 03:23 UTC. Launch times often change; check the provider for the latest.
How many launches are planned in the next 30 days?
13 in the 30 days after 6 October 2026, 04:30 UTC, by their planned times in the list.
Why do some launches have only a month or a quarter?
Launch Library 2 says how exact each planned time is. A month or a quarter means the day is not set yet, so this page prints the month or the quarter and not a day.
Does this page count down to the launch?
The page itself prints the planned time in UTC. With JavaScript on, it also shows a countdown for a time given to the minute or second, marked if the time holds, and after the planned time it shows the status the page was built with. It never says that a launch happened.
