When do rocket launches get announced?
Does anyone know when launches are confirmed for Cape Canaveral?
I'm not sure how long to wait to book other things I want to do. I know a launch might be delayed or cancelled at short notice. I've been watching a few websites for 6 months trying to find out the dates for launches in the first 2 weeks of July. Kennedy space center has now updated their events pages for July but there are no launches listed. This site lists a few US launches for July but they are all TBD.

i use spacecoastlaunches.com and then followed SpaceX on twitter a couple of days before their launch to keep up to date. We were lucky to see 2 launches last week, 1 from the villa at 3:50am and 1 from the pier at Cocoa Beach

If we are staying in ChampionsGate, can you still see the rocket launches? Or from disney? one is happening while we are there, and while we may not go to actually watch it, just wondering if we would at least be able to see it or hear it from where we are? sorry if its a silly question my sense of distance and direction ain't the best lols

From Disney you would get a view of the smoke trail if you had a good vantage point like the top of the roof at one of the parking garages. We saw one from Cocoa beach last week then another one went up whilst we were in Volvano Bay but there was no trace of it I could see. When they go up if it is a clear day you get a trail of vapour but no sound. Even from Cocoa beach the sound was much less than expected. If I wax there again I would try and get to Titusville to get a good view.

We were lucky enough to see a launch from our plane window flying to the east from orlando Airport on 29th April. It was one of the highlights of my holiday.
