My name is Caleb Jones and i'm a Software Engineer in Test with years of experience as QA Engineer. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia and i'm currently working at Magnet Forensics. I'm a Founder and Board Member of The Space Devs and I'm the Founder and Developer of Space Launch Now a popular mobile application for tracking spaceflight events!

This is my main side project, a spaceflight tracker for Android and iOS using data from The Space Devs - Launch Library API. It was first launched in 2016 as the first quality spaceflight even tracking mobile app at a time where renewed public focus was being brought in thanks to the efforts of SpaceX. The project is very mature now with a robust CI/CD pipeline, backend services for GCM, Twitter/Instagram bots and other various services all running on a Digital Ocean hosted kubernetes cluster.

The Space Devs is a group of space enthusiast developers working on a range of services, united in a common goal to improve public knowledge and accessibility of spaceflight information. We aim to bring space app developers together into a thriving community by providing helpful data and tools, accessible to everyone for free.

The next space launch, retrieved from The Space Devs Launch Library 2 API, is GSLV Mk II | IRNSS-1L (NVS-03). It is scheduled to be launched by Indian Space Research Organization from Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad, Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India at 2026-10-30 17:00:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 33 out of 105 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Navigation and the payload will be injected into a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).

This is a replacement satellite for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The constellation will provide India with an alternative to GPS and will be used for military and civilian use. Located at a geosynchronous orbit, the system will be operated by the Indian government.
