Witness the Ascent. Command the Cosmos.
The most sophisticated Space Domain Awareness platform ever made available to the public. We don't just track the sky; we decode it.
The era of being "in the dark" is over. While global agencies keep their data behind closed doors, LaunchDetect hands you the keys to the orbital kingdom. Through a proprietary marriage of high-performance machine learning and global satellite telemetry, and a community monitoring network, we provide what was once impossible: Total Orbital Omniscience.
THE INTELLIGENCE SUITE
The Infrared Eye: Our 24/7 cloud-intelligence net ingests raw data from thermal satellite networks. We detect the thermal signature of ignition the millisecond it occurs, often before the news cycle even breathes.
The Augmented Heavens: Transform your device into a tactical observatory. Our drift-free AR overlay geolocates satellites with surgical precision, visualizing complex trajectories like Artemis II in real-time.
Global Situation Room: Step into a live, community-driven 3D theater. Report reentries, track satellite passes, and witness the evolution of the orbital grid as it happens.
A Shared Mission: Turn a quiet evening into a front-row seat to history. Use the tactical overlay to witness the streak of a Falcon 9, elevating a backyard view into a professional-grade mission debrief.
