API Showcase - Launch Library 2 🚀

Next Launch ⌛

The next space launch, retrieved from our Launch Library 2 API, is Falcon 9 Block 5 | Sirius SXM-11. It is scheduled to be launched by SpaceX from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA at 2026-06-29 02:25:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 389 out of 1116 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Communications and the payload will be injected into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).

SXM-11 is the 12th high-powered, digital, audio radio satellite built by Lanteris Space (ex-Maxar, Space System/Loral) for SiriusXM. The SXM-11 satellite will be based on the proven IM-1300 (ex-LS-1300)-class platform and built at the company’s manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, California. SXM-11 has a large, mesh, unfurlable reflector almost 10 meters in diameter that allows SiriusXM programming to reach its radios, including those in moving vehicles.
