Falcon Heavy Roman Space Telescope Launch & Landing

Star Fleet plans to go out for launch viewing boat trips of the Falcon Heavy Roman Space Telescope mission, a historic flight launching NASA's flagship telescope of the 2020s and beyond! NASA has officially confirmed the the launch is scheduled for No Earlier Than Sunday August 30 at 7:26 AM EDT (11:26 UTC). We expect to be at the closest possible viewing location to the landing around ~4 mi / ~6 km away, with a clear view of the pad and liftoff at approximately ~9 mi / ~14 km (hazard zone dependent), and a more favorable angle to the easterly trajectory relative to land-based locations.

In addition to the launch trip, we are offering sunset cruises prior to the launch to see the Falcon Heavy rocket standing tall on historic LC-39A as it prepares for its mission.

LATEST LAUNCH UPDATE: As of Wednesday July 29, NASA and SpaceX are currently preparing for a launch one month from now. Our boats are standing by, and we are prepared to open up tickets approximately two weeks from the confirmed launch date. To get the chance to book tickets before they go live to the general public here, as well as the latest insider updates and official announcements as we get closer to launch, make sure to join our WhatsApp community!

We have a Whats App community that we highly recommend you join, with channels for announcements, insider launch updates, discussion, questions and more! We also use it for early tickets, special community events and more! You can also follow our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for announcements and updates. Thanks!

DELAY/SCRUB POLICY: Tickets are generally non-refundable.
Per agreement with our captains, if there is a delay announced prior to the checkin time on the day of launch, your ticket will be valid for the new launch date and time. Should you not be able to make the backup date, you can either transfer your tickets to someone who can, or reach out to use by email at FleetCommand@Star-Fleet.Tours or phone at 941-879-4240 to request a refund (at least 24 hours in advance of launch). Should a launch day delay/scrub be officially announced after that or if a passenger does not show up by the published boarding time, the boat will go out as scheduled to see the rocket on the pad, and tickets will be considered used and will no longer be refundable, but you will be offered a minimum 10% (often higher) discount on future attempts of the same launch. Conversely, in case there is an issue with the boat or weather keeping us from departing for the launch, and it occurs as scheduled, we'll issue you a full refund.
