[Launch Alert]

This morning's planned launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg AFB appears to be on schedule. Liftoff is planned for 10:42:18 a.m. PST, the start of a 30-second launch window.

If you will be using optical assistance (binoculars, telescope, etc.) to view the launch, try following the first stage after stage 1/2 separation. You may be able to follow the stage part or much of its way down to its attempted landing on a barge in the ocean.
