LaunchDetect for journalists.

LaunchDetect provides journalists with citation-grade primary-source confirmation of every rocket launch on Earth. Each detection has a permanent URL with the satellite frame timestamp, ignition coordinates, plume azimuth, and a verifiable reference to publicly archived NOAA CLASS or JMA Open Data imagery.

Use cases

Use LaunchDetect when you need to: (1) verify a launch actually happened independent of operator press release; (2) report on classified or military launches that don't broadcast; (3) cite a primary source in academic or investigative work; (4) get real-time push alerts on every launch worldwide for breaking-news editorial workflows.
