How the Star Citizen Executive Hangar cycle works
The Executive Hangar runs on a repeating 185 minute cycle. The hangar is closed for 120 minutes while the lights charge, then enters a 65 minute open window where compboards can be inserted to open the hangar doors.
During the closed phase, the hangar starts with five red lights. One light turns green every 24 minutes until all five lights are green. Once all five lights are green, the Executive Hangar enters its open window.
During the open phase, all five lights start green and then turn black one by one every 12 minutes. After 60 minutes all lights are black, leaving the final 5 minutes as the blackout period before the hangar resets to red and starts charging again.
The upcoming windows table below is generated from the same cycle as the live countdown, so it can be used to plan Executive Hangar runs, compboard timing, and keycard cooldowns in your own local timezone.

Star Citizen Executive Hangar Timer FAQ
How is the Executive Hangar timer calculated?
This tool uses a fixed 185 minute cycle based on supplied timing data. The Executive Hangar is treated as open for 65 minutes, then closed for 120 minutes.
How are the five Executive Hangar lights calculated?
During the 120 minute closed charging phase, this tool turns on one green light every 24 minutes. When the hangar opens, all five lights are green. During the open phase, one light turns black every 12 minutes until the hangar closes.
Is the blackout phase part of the open window?
Yes. The final 5 minutes of the 65 minute open window is the blackout phase. After all five lights turn black, the timer continues until the listed close time, then the hangar resets to five red lights and begins the 120 minute charging phase again.
What timezone are the times shown in?
Times are displayed using your browser's local timezone. The internal anchor is stored in UTC so the timer can work correctly across different regions.

No. The cooldown timers are local browser timers. They are designed for personal tracking on the device you are currently using.
How long are the keycard and compboard cooldown timers?
Blue keycards are set up here as a 15 minute cooldown. Red keycards and compboards are set up as 30 minute cooldowns.
