Space Launch Now

This is my main side project, a spaceflight tracker for Android and iOS using data from The Space Devs - Launch Library API. It was first launched in 2016 as the first quality spaceflight even tracking mobile app at a time where renewed public focus was being brought in thanks to the efforts of SpaceX. The project is very mature now with a robust CI/CD pipeline, backend services for GCM, Twitter/Instagram bots and other various services all running on a Digital Ocean hosted kubernetes cluster.

Interested in checking it out? App store links available here!

The next space launch, retrieved from The Space Devs Launch Library 2 API, is Falcon 9 Block 5 | Dror-1? ("Commercial GTO 1"). It is scheduled to be launched by SpaceX from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA at 2025-07-13 04:31:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 320 out of 1037 launches from this location. The launch status is currently TBC 🟨 . The mission type is Communications and the payload will be injected into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).

Note: Payload identity is uncertain and to be confirmed, based on FCC documentation. SpaceX identifies the mission as "Commercial GTO 1".

Dror-1 is a geostationary communication satellite built and developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). It is intended to meet the satellite communication needs of Israel for the next 15 years. Dror-1 is comprised primarily of local Israeli technologies developed at IAI, including an advanced digital communication payload and β€œsmartphone in space” capabilities, to provide communication agility throughout the satellite’s lifetime in space.
