SPADRE CAM is located on South Padre Island, 6 miles away from Boca Chica Launch Pad. Visibility and clarity is relative to atmospheric conditions.

SUBSCRIBE for frequent updates from SpaceX Boca Chica, launch viewing information and important local insider tips for those traveling to South Padre Island to film or view launches.

SPADRE CAM views the SpaceX StarHopper at the Boca Chica Launch Pad and Starship prototype construction area, and the beaches of South Padre Island. Enjoy free continuous live streams and recordings of all upcoming launches, Starship launch schedules and the latest SpaceX Boca Chica news. Check SPadre Youtube channel for frequent video updates from Boca Chica with closeup views of activity.

HOPPER FLIGHTS initially will be very short duration and not visible from South Padre Island. In the upcoming weeks, StarHopper will ascend to increasingly higher altitudes and will easily be seen, felt
and heard from South Padre Island, so stay tuned for updates on these viewable launches and landings.

FIRST TEST LAUNCHES and landings of the SpaceX "Starship" orbital prototype may begin later this year. South Padre Island is the closest viewing area for launches, check https://www.SPadre.com for hotels, launch dates and area information. Make plans and book your hotel as soon as launch date is announced, as these will be the largest events by far in SPI history with worldwide interest and massive crowds for this incredible historic milestone in space flight! Check back for more videos of the progress and launch dates of the first Starship and the Boca Chica Spaceport.

THE BEST PLACE TO WATCH launches is on South Padre Island. Boca Chica beaches will be closed. The southern tip of SPI is county owned Isla Blanca Beach Park, and is the closest possible viewing area. A new waterfront ampitheater has already been built for public viewing of launches. It is a short walk on the beach from most hotels to Isla Blanca, some beachfront hotels will have excellent views from south facing units. If you are unable to make it for a launch, you can view it live on the Starship Cam. All launches will be recorded and uploaded to this youtube channel.

HOPPER TEST LAUNCH DATES will be frequent with little advance notice, but we will post any information on launch dates on https://www.SPadre.com as soon as it becomes available.
