TOOLS
Free tools for people who pay attention to launches. No accounts needed, no paywalls whatsoever. Built because they should exist.
SONIC BOOM PREDICTOR
When a Falcon 9 booster returns to land at Cape Canaveral or Vandenberg, it breaks the sound barrier twice. Enter your location and find out if you are close enough to hear the double boom, your distance from the landing zone, and the estimated arrival time after touchdown. Nothing like this exists at consumer quality anywhere else.
LAUNCH VISIBILITY CALCULATOR
Can you actually see the next SpaceX launch from where you are? Enter your city or zip code and get exact distance, bearing, and peak altitude above your horizon for every launch site. Find out which direction to face, when to step outside, and whether the rocket will be naked-eye visible or a binoculars-only event.
ORBITAL TRACKER
Live position of the International Space Station and the Starlink constellation on a real-time world map. Ground track updated every two seconds using live TLE data from Celestrak. Share your location to get a pass prediction for the next 24 hours — rise time, duration, and maximum elevation above your horizon.
SKY VIEW
A polar sky map centered on your exact location. See which satellites are above your horizon right now, their elevation and direction, updated every two seconds. The ISS appears in orange. Starlink satellites appear in green. Find out what that moving light actually is.
Launch window calculator, Mars colony simulation experience, and other tools being added soon. If you have a request, reach out at legal@goforlaunch.live.
