Tracking the next Starship launch…Get the alert ↓

Know exactly when to book your rocket-launch trip.

Starship launches fill South Padre Island hotels fast — but launch dates float until the county quietly files road closures. We watch the public launch schedule and those filings around the clock. When they line up, you get one alert: now is the time to book.

How it works

1The public launch calendar puts a mission on our high-alert board (Starbase, Texas today — more sites soon).
2We watch the official Boca Chica road & beach closure filings — the strongest early signal that an attempt is really coming, usually days before headlines.
3Only when both sources agree do we alert you — with the primary and backup dates and hotel links pre-filled with the right check-in and check-out.

What we watch, around the clock

🌍 Global launch schedule

Every Starbase mission, target date, and status change on the public launch calendar.

🚧 Official closure filings

City of Starbase beach & road closure orders — the paperwork that precedes every attempt.

✈️ FAA airspace restrictions

Temporary flight restrictions over the launch corridor — federal corroboration of real activity.

🚛 Pad activity

Overnight road delays that often mean hardware rolling to the pad — the earliest physical tell.

⚓ Marine safety notices

Coast Guard hazard-zone activations for the waters under the flight path — with primary and backup launch windows.

📡 FCC filings

Launch-communications paperwork filed weeks ahead — the earliest paper trail there is.
