H3-30 | H3-30 Test Flight is scheduled to fly aboard a H3-30 from Yoshinobu Launch Complex LP-2 on 2026-06-10. LaunchDetect tracks the rocket's thermal signature in geostationary satellite infrared imagery from the moment the engines ignite, giving you an orbital vantage point on the ascent that ground cameras cannot match.
The pad sits at 30.4009°, 130.9756°. Our detection pipeline ingests GOES-18, GOES-19, and Himawari-9 frames and isolates plumes within seconds of liftoff. You can watch it happen live during the launch window.
Launch windows slip. Weather scrubs missions. LaunchDetect monitors the actual hardware on the pad, not the schedule, so you see the launch the moment it happens, regardless of broadcast availability.
Window: T-0 at 2026-06-10T00:53:59Z UTC. Site: Yoshinobu Launch Complex LP-2. Vehicle: H3-30.
