Program watch / The frontier

Where the future is being built.

Mission-control trackers for the rockets where every campaign is its own story. Starship remains in readiness watch, while New Glenn is in recovery watch for verified incident, pad repair, and return-campaign updates.

Flight 13 left Ship 40 floating intact in the Indian Ocean. On July 28 Elon Musk said SpaceX is sending a vessel to recover it — while Flight 14 planning continues with no official window yet.

New Glenn remains in Phase 3 of its five-step return-to-flight plan. Its launch table is at the Integration Facility for inspection, and Blue Origin has added a Stennis upper-stage hotfire test site while retaining its goal to fly again before the end of 2026.

How readiness works

For active launch campaigns, we aggregate public hardware, regulatory, recovery, and stream signals into one weighted score. Hardware activity carries the most weight; weather and stream confidence rise late.

What this is not

Not an official launch probability from SpaceX or Blue Origin. When a program is recovering from a major incident, we replace the score with verified recovery updates until launch-watch coverage is appropriate again.

When it gets hot

Readiness climbs once static fires complete, hazard notices publish, and an official livestream is posted. Recovery pages stay focused on confirmed investigation, repair, and pad status information.
