ROCKET TRACKER

Contact & support

Rocket Tracker is built and maintained by one person in Queensland, Australia. If something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it. If it has been useful, you can chip in — but the site works exactly the same either way.

Get in touch

Email rockettrackerAU@outlook.com. It reaches me directly, so please be patient — this is not a support desk, it is one inbox.

Worth emailing about

Wrong dataA launch time, a vehicle specification or a status that does not match reality. These are the most useful messages I get — include the vehicle or mission name and where you saw the correct figure.
Something brokenA page that will not load, a webcast that will not play, a countdown that looks wrong. Tell me your browser and roughly when it happened.
A missing rocketThe roster covers 52 vehicles and new ones appear regularly. If one is missing, say so.
PhotographsIf you own an image used on this site and want it credited differently or removed, email me and I will act on it promptly.
Anything elseBusiness, press, or a question about how the site works.

Not worth emailing about

I cannot tell you whether a launch will be scrubbed, and I have no relationship with any launch provider. The schedule here comes from Launch Library 2 and is only ever as current as their data — which is usually very current, but it is theirs, not mine.

Support the site

Rocket Tracker has no advertising, no tracking and no paywall, and I would like to keep it that way. Here is exactly what it costs to run:

Domainrockettracker.com.au, about $16 a year
Hostingfree at this size, and it stays free until the traffic is large
Datafree — Launch Library 2 and the Spaceflight News API

So it is a cheap site to run, and donations are genuinely optional. What they buy is time — keeping the roster checked by hand, adding vehicles, and chasing the things that break.

I haven’t set up a donations page yet — I would rather get the site right first. If you want to support the work in the meantime, the most useful thing you can send is a correction, and the email above reaches me.

A better place to send it

If you only support one thing, make it The Space Devs. Every launch time, pad, flight sequence and webcast link on this site comes from their database, they give it away for free with no key and no account, and they run on Patreon donations. This site would not exist without them, and their need is greater than mine.
