Space Coast Living
Rocket launches, surf, events and the neighborhoods that make Brevard County home. Brought to you by Melbourne Realty, South Brevard's oldest brokerage.
Upcoming Rocket Launches
Brevard County is home to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center, two of the busiest launch sites in the world. Here's what's coming up.
Schedule shows upcoming launches worldwide; Florida launches list Cape Canaveral or Kennedy Space Center as the location. Launch times change often. Schedule provided by RocketLaunch.Live.
Where to Watch Launches From South Brevard
Melbourne sits roughly 35 to 50 miles south of the main launch pads, close enough to see most launches climb over the horizon on a clear day or night. Popular spots include the beaches in Indialantic, Melbourne Beach and Satellite Beach, looking north up the coast, and the Eau Gallie and Pineda causeways over the Indian River Lagoon. Night launches are the most dramatic from this distance.
You may also hear sonic booms when SpaceX boosters return to land at the Cape. It's a normal part of life on the Space Coast.
