## What is Launch Buoy?

Launch Buoy is the boater's guide to the Space Coast. See upcoming rocket launches, advisory keep-out zones, and waterway infrastructure on a live nautical map — so you can catch every launch from the water and know the areas launch operators ask boaters to avoid.

WATCH LAUNCHES FROM THE WATER
• Upcoming launch schedule for Cape Canaveral and beyond, with vehicle, provider, pad location, and live status
• Countdown timers and "Go for Launch" status updates
• See exactly how far each launch pad is from your current position
• Filter launches by your state, your country, or worldwide

KNOW THE KEEP-OUT ZONES
• Advisory keep-out zones published by launch operators, drawn directly on the map
• Real-time proximity warnings when you approach a published zone — and an urgent alert if you're inside one
• Distances shown in nautical miles, the way mariners navigate

EXPLORE THE WATERWAYS
• Clean nautical map built for small craft
• Locks, drawbridges, and other waterway infrastructure marked on the map
• Weekly event strip shows what's happening on the water each day
• Your live position, speed, and heading on the map

MADE FOR EVERYONE ON THE WATER
• Browse everything as a guest — no account required
• Sign in to unlock more features
• Designed for iPhone and iPad

Zone information in Launch Buoy is advisory. Always follow official charts and U.S. Coast Guard notices to mariners for authoritative restrictions.

Whether you're anchoring in the Banana River for a night launch or just cruising the Intracoastal, Launch Buoy keeps you informed.
