Upcoming rocket launches + countdown
A list of upcoming launches with live countdowns, using a public launch data API.
Build an 'upcoming rocket launches' page. - Data from The Space Devs' Launch Library 2 API (check their docs for the current version and rate limits). - Cards: mission name, provider, rocket, pad/location, launch window (in the viewer's local time zone), status, and a live countdown. - Filter by provider and location; 'add to calendar' (.ics download) per launch. - Cache API responses on the server for at least 15 minutes to respect rate limits. - Clearly show when a launch time is 'NET' (no earlier than) or TBD.
Tips
- Launch times change often. Show the 'last updated' time.
