The December 31 Cliff, 2026

The public launch manifest has to store a date for every launch, even one with no date. So “NET 2026”, “NET Q4 2026”, “NET H2 2026” and “NET December 2026” are all stored as December 31, 2026. Every launch calendar that reads the raw date shows them bunched on New Year's Eve.

On September 26, 2026 we froze the list: 102 launches parked on December 31 with only a year, half, quarter or month. We check every one of them every day until the year ends, then freeze the result.

Provisional: the list below is today's and will be frozen at the next scheduled run.

The final result freezes on January 3, 2027, two days into the new year, so the last launches' outcomes are in.
