🚀 SpaceX Launch Intelligence — Track Every Rocket Launch, Mission & Landing

Get structured data on SpaceX rocket launches — past missions, upcoming flights, rockets, launch pads and live webcasts — pulled from an actively maintained spaceflight database. Track Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Starship missions with launch dates, orbits, payloads, landing outcomes, mission patches and pad coordinates, all as clean rows. No scraping, no broken selectors, no API key. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🛰️ What is the SpaceX Launch Intelligence?

It turns the SpaceX launch manifest into a structured dataset you can actually build on. Pick a data type (launches, rockets or launch pads) and a filter (all, past, upcoming or latest), and it returns every matching record with full mission details — so news sites, dashboards, educational apps and aerospace researchers get accurate launch data without wiring up an API or maintaining a scraper. Each run fetches the current state of the source, so upcoming launches and outcomes stay fresh.

What data does it extract?

• Mission name, status and status description (e.g. Launch Successful, Go for Launch)
• Launch date/time (net, with window_start and window_end)
• Rocket name and rocket family (Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Starship)
• Mission details — description, type and target orbit
• Launch pad name, location and latitude/longitude coordinates
• Provider (launch service provider) and webcast availability
• Mission patch/image URL and failure reason when a launch fails
• Rocket specs (rockets mode) — dimensions, thrust, reusability, total/successful/failed launch counts
• A direct launch URL and an extracted_at timestamp

Because the source is an actively maintained spaceflight API rather than a scraped web page, there are no selectors to break, no captchas and no login walls — re-running the actor simply refreshes the same fields with the latest manifest and outcomes.

⬇️ Input

Choose a data type and filter, then run — no key or login required:

Example input

{
"dataType":"launches",
"launchFilter":"past",
"successOnly":true,
"year":2025,
"maxResults":50
}

❓ FAQ

Where does the data come from? From an actively maintained public spaceflight launch database (Launch Library 2 by The Space Devs). Each run fetches the current state, so upcoming launches and outcomes stay current.

Do I need an API key? No. There is no key, login or token to configure — just choose a data type and run.

Can I get upcoming launches? Yes. Set launchFilter: "upcoming" for the manifest of scheduled flights, or latest for the most recent launch.

Can I filter to successful launches only? Yes. Set successOnly: true, and optionally add a year to analyse a single season's reliability.

What rockets are covered? SpaceX vehicles including Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy and Starship, with names and families on every launch and full specs available via dataType: "rockets".

Can I get launch pad locations? Yes. Use dataType: "launchpads" for pad names, locations and coordinates; launch records also include pad_latitude and pad_longitude.

How fresh is the data? Real-time per run — the actor queries the live source each time, so re-running keeps your dataset up to date.

Can I run it on a schedule or via API? Yes. Schedule recurring runs in Apify, call it via the API/SDK, or connect it to Make, Zapier or n8n to keep a launch feed live.

How many records can it return? Up to your maxResults cap (1–500); the actor paginates automatically.

Is it legal? It reads publicly available spaceflight data from an open API. Use it responsibly for research, news and apps, and follow the source's terms and applicable laws.
