Boom.API

Boom tells you what weather apps don't — whether you'll actually hear a sonic boom from a returning rocket booster.

When a booster performs a Return to Launch Site (RTLS) landing, it creates a powerful sonic boom that can be heard for miles. Boom predicts exactly who is in the blast zone, and notifies you before it happens.



WHAT BOOM DOES
• Tracks upcoming rocket launches from Vandenberg SFB, Cape Canaveral, and Kennedy Space Center
• Calculates whether a sonic boom will reach YOUR location based on the booster's descent corridor
• Shows a countdown to launch so you know exactly when to expect it
• Displays an interactive flight path map with the sonic boom wave corridor
• Sends push notifications before launch so you never miss one



PERSONALIZED PREDICTIONS
Enable location-based predictions and Boom will tell you how far you are from the boom corridor, how loud it might be (Loud / Audible / Faint), and whether local weather conditions will affect sound travel.



NOTIFICATIONS

Get notified 24 hours before, 1 hour before, or right at launch time — your choice. Receive alerts when a launch is rescheduled within 24 hours.

Not every launch produces a sonic boom. Boom filters out ocean landings and shows you only what matters based on where you are. Show More
