About SpaceRocket

Who We Are

SpaceRocket is an independent project built and maintained by a lifelong space enthusiast. It started from a simple frustration: following the world's space programs — especially China's fast-moving launch sector — means jumping between dozens of sources in multiple languages. This site brings them together in one place.

What We Cover

We follow space programs across the globe — the United States, China, Europe, Japan, India, and beyond — with a special focus on US–China space comparison. Our content spans:

• Live launch tracking, event calendars, and launch-vehicle statistics
• A side-by-side rocket comparison tool and a family-grouped rocket library
• Live ISS & Tiangong station tracking, reusable booster records, and interactive 3D rocket models
• NASA astronomy pictures (APOD) and near-Earth asteroid tracking
• Rocket model kit guides — LEGO, diecast, and 3D-printable builds
• Space science and rocketry explained — engines, propellants, recovery techniques
• Space news and program developments from national agencies and commercial companies
• Original data-driven analysis built on our own launch database

Our Sources

We aggregate publicly available information from many places — structured data from TheSpaceDevs (Launch Library 2) and the Spaceflight News API, announcements from national space agencies and commercial launch companies, public domain material from NASA, encyclopedic facts from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0), and community-created 3D models from Sketchfab (Creative Commons, attributed on the page). Our original analysis is built on top of this data; schedules and mission details can change at any time, so always consult official provider sources for the most up-to-date information.

Our Mission

We believe space exploration should be easy to follow for everyone — no matter which country launches the rocket. Our mission is to lower the barrier with a clean, reliable, and free experience: no accounts, no paywalls, just data and honest analysis.
