ABOUT US
What We Are Doing
MASFA (Monitoring Agency for Spaceflight Activities) was created in
January 2026 by Kion and Lewis Knaggs, as a dedicated network to
notify and inform everyone about spaceflight launch activities.
Our mission is to monitor and cover space launch activities around
the globe, from pre-flight testing all the way to launch.
MASFA’s website was created as a free, comprehensive tracking
platform for orbital rocket launch activities. It provides the most
accurate and recent information possible, acting as a dedicated and
specialized resource for space enthusiasts and industry
professionals.
By analyzing every bit of information possible to report, often even
contacting companies, organizations and facilities involved in these
launch operations, we track not only major missions, but also the
most undocumented attempts.
MASFA also aims to address the gap in available data. During events
such as the inaugural flights of new rockets, operations are often
delayed due to technical or weather related problems. While these
delays are a normal part of spaceflight, during such times, it can
become hard to grasp what is really happening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why start Masfa if Gateway was cancelled due to time constraints?
The Gateway Game Project was a collaboration between Masfa Space’s
founders Kion, and Lewis Knaggs to make a Kerbal Space Program (KSP)
style game, but using real life rockets.
While the project got off to a good start, in early 2025, just prior
to the first test build, the team had to stop development due to
both Lewis and Kion focusing on their other more important projects
and personal lives, as Gateway required a lot of time to get done.
However, Masfa was built to be as automated as possible, only
requiring us to post updates when time is available. This was made
as a part time, fun project, that isn't necessarily going to go down
if both Kion and Lewis run out of time to maintain it.

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.
