Florida’s Space Coast hosted a record-shattering 109 orbital rocket launches during 2025, soaring beyond all previous annual records.
Will this year’s final total surpass that lofty sum from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center? By February’s end, 14 rockets had taken flight from the Sunshine State.
Looking ahead, the Cape’s March launch schedule kicks off with the usual heavy diet of SpaceX Starlink satellite missions — with space fans eagerly anticipating NASA’s Artemis II crewed moon mission and Blue Origin’s next New Glenn rocket launch.
Following are the latest missions coming up from the Cape. All launches are listed in Eastern Standard Time. But be aware: Dates and times routinely change for a wide variety of reasons.
