Rocket fleets

Every orbital launch vehicle currently flying, being built, or recently retired — and the full Starship variant tree, which no launch API carries. Live launch counts and photographs are merged in from the schedule.

Starship

The next flight of the largest rocket ever built, tracked from the hardware up: which preparation milestones each vehicle has cleared, what is left before it can fly, and the live stream when it does.

The tick list

Every milestone a vehicle has to clear before it is allowed to fly. Items tick themselves as the launch schedule and the news wire confirm them — each one shows the evidence that moved it.

– milestones confirmed

Unticked does not mean not started. SpaceX publishes no test schedule, so a milestone only ticks here once something verifiable says it happened — a Launch Library status change, or a wire story naming the vehicle. Work is almost always further along than the public record.

Vehicle

Starship V3, by the numbers

Full stack: Super Heavy booster plus Starship upper stage, both designed to return to the tower and fly again.

Height, stacked
124.4m 408 ft — taller than the Saturn V by 13 m
Liftoff mass
5,300t Fuelled and stacked, roughly the mass of 8 fully loaded 747s
Liftoff thrust
90.6MN ≈ 9,240 tf — about 2.6× the Saturn V
Engines
39 33 Raptor 3 on the booster, 6 on the ship (3 sea-level, 3 vacuum)
Payload to LEO
100t + Fully reusable; 180–200 t if the vehicle is expended
Propellant load
4,600t Subcooled liquid oxygen and liquid methane, both stages
Propellant

What it takes to fill it

A Starship is mostly a tank of oxygen. The engines burn methane at a mixture ratio near 3.6 parts oxygen to one part fuel, so the oxidiser dominates both the mass and the bill.

Liquid oxygen · ≈3,600 t Liquid methane · ≈1,000 t

Loaded in roughly an hour through the tower's quick-disconnect arm. The methane alone releases, when burned, about as much energy as the daily primary energy use of a city of 345,000 people — spent in under seven minutes of powered flight.

  • Liquid oxygen, ≈3,600 t≈ $0.6–1.1 M
  • Liquid methane, ≈1,000 t≈ $0.4–0.9 M
  • Implied blended price≈ $220–435 / t
  • Fuel share of a 100 t payload≈ $10–20 / kg
  • Total to fuel one flight≈ $1–2 M

Propellant cost is an estimate, not a published figure: SpaceX does not disclose what it pays, and industrial gas is bought on long contracts at prices that move with natural gas and electricity. The $1–2 M range is the one most commonly cited for a full stack in 2026; Musk's long-stated target of $100 per tonne would put it nearer $0.5 M. Either way the fuel is the small number — for context, a Falcon 9 launch sells for about $70 M, and the propellant in it costs under $200,000.
