[GCARC] Antares Launch Tonight

[John Zaruba Jr. K2ZA]

Orbital Sciences and NASA will be launching an Antares rocket from Wallops Island, VA, tonight at approximately 1845 EDT.

The rocket will start off in the Southwestern portion of the sky, transiting to the Southeast as it increases in altitude. The weather looks good for both launch and visibility from the South Jersey area.

As a bonus, about 5 minutes later you should see the International Space Station making the same path.

Thanks to Keith Johnson, director of the Edelman Planetarium at Rowan University for the information.

73,
