Upcoming Indian rocket launches from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, covering PSLV, GSLV and LVM3 missions. Each entry shows the launch date at the precision it is genuinely known, along with the mission, the pad and the current status.
ISRO usually announces a target month or quarter well before committing to an exact date, and firms up the launch window only in the final weeks. This page reflects that honestly: a mission known only to the quarter is shown as a quarter rather than dressed up with an invented timestamp, and every entry carries a note describing how firm the timing really is.
Almost all Indian orbital launches lift off from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, about 80 km north of Chennai, using the First and Second Launch Pads. A third site at Kulasekarapattinam in Tamil Nadu is being developed for small satellite launches. The centre operates a public Launch View Gallery, with free online registration opening a few days before major launches.
Launch schedules slip for many reasons — payload readiness, range availability, weather, and pre-flight checks that reveal problems late. A date marked "to be determined" reflects genuine uncertainty in the published schedule rather than missing information.
The Launch View Gallery at SDSC SHAR seats several thousand spectators a few kilometres from the pads. Registration is free and opens online ahead of major launches, but seats are limited and photo identification is required. At that distance the vehicle is clearly visible at liftoff and the sound arrives several seconds later.
New satellites are normally catalogued by NORAD within a day or two of reaching orbit, at which point public orbital elements allow their positions to be propagated and tracked live. Larger payloads in low orbit may also be bright enough to see with the naked eye during twilight passes.
