Turn your TRMNL into your very own Mission Control, with a window onto the world’s launch pads. See what’s being prepared for launch, count down to liftoff, watch it leave the pad, and follow the mission until it’s done.

Find out what’s going up and why, which booster is flying, and how many times that same booster has already been to space and come home again. When a reusable booster returns, you’ll see it back on the pad. When it doesn’t, the pad sits empty while the next rocket is being prepared. From Cape Canaveral to Jiuquan, every orbital launch gets its turn.

Comes with hand-drawn pixel art rockets, each one drawn to scale, with a tiny figure at the bottom for perspective. Turns out you are quite small.

Install (don't Fork!) to automatically receive new hand drawn rocket images and updates.

Turn your TRMNL into a window onto the world’s **rocket launch pads**. Mission Control tracks upcoming orbital launches around the world, from Cape Canaveral to Jiuquan, and follows each mission from preparation through countdown, liftoff, and the end of the launch.

See what rocket is being prepared, what it is carrying and why it is launching, which booster is flying, and how many times that reusable booster has already been to space. As the mission progresses, the display changes with it. A rocket waiting on the pad becomes a countdown, then a launch, then an empty pad or a returning booster getting ready for its next flight.

The recipe covers orbital launches from spaceports around the world, giving you a constantly changing view of what is happening in the global launch industry.

Each rocket is represented with hand-drawn pixel art, carefully scaled to show the relative size of different launch vehicles. A tiny figure beside the rocket provides a sense of scale.
