ABOUT US
What We Are Doing
MASFA (Monitoring Agency for Space Flight Activities) was created in
January 2026 by Kion and Lewis Knaggs, as a platform network to
notify and inform the public about space flight activities,
specifically surrounding launch operations.
Often, during activities such as the inaugural flight of new
rockets, operations are delayed due to technical or weather related
problems, which is normal for space flight.
But during
such times, it's hard to grasp what is really happening.
During launches, this website is updated to reflect the
best possible information on launch activities.
We dive
deep, looking at sources, and often contacting companies,
organizations and facilities involved in these launch operations to
get as much information to share with the public as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are launch windows?
Launch windows are periods of time during which a rocket launch
could occur.
Normally when a launch is given its license, the agency
or organizations responsible for launch safety publish notices to
the public, especially airmen, and mariners, with specific date and
time ranges during which a launch could occur.
Why do rockets Scrub?
The word "Scrub" refers to when a rocket launch operation has been
aborted and postponed due to an operational, system, or weather
problem.
It's normal for rockets to scrub, especially during
inaugural and first test flights.
What is the “Range”?
The range is the part of the control center where personnel monitor
weather conditions, such as high level windows, temperature, and
other factors that could impact a rocket launch.
They
are a key aspect as weather can cause a scrub if high level windows
are too strong, which can exceed the rocket’s wind tolerance, and
can pose risk to the launch.
What is Mission Control’s Job During a Launch?
Mission control is a center or room, where personnel from the
rocket’s operator and from other participating parties such as the
range etc, monitor the vehicle, system, and range status, to make
sure everything goes well during a rocket launch.
Before the rocket enters its internal guidance mode, the teams have
the ability to manually trigger an abort on the countdown to assess
any problems during the launch countdown.
What are Road Closures?
Along with establishing a launch window for launches, authorities
responsible for operating the facility and launch pad on which the
rocket is launching from, publish road closures to prohibit people
from entering the danger restricted area of launch, for public roads
that can access the launch facility.
Public safety is one of the most important parts for a successful
launch operation, so notices like Road Closures, Notice To AirMan,
and Notice to Mariners play a vital role for the safety of everyone
around the launch area.
