Launch Schedule

Imagine the excitement as you witness the liftoff of a commercial rocket knowing that your gift recipient is a part of the mission. Just like a cosmic message in a bottle, your message will travel through space. You can track our Earth-orbiting missions on our website!

Name A Star Live makes the symbolic gesture of 'naming a star' real: No other star-naming company comes close!

All "Launch Dates" for upcoming missions are subject to change due to a number of reasons inherent in spaceflight. Please check this webpage regularly for the latest launch news: We update this webpage as soon as news develops. Many of our launches are webcast live. If a live webcast is not available, we post launch video on our site after the launch takes place. Sometimes our customers can even attend a launch in person (at their expense).
