[Launch Alert] Friday Rocket Launch

[Launch Alert]

The following is an advisory from SpaceX:

"SpaceX is targeting Friday, August 16 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-11 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 53-minute window opens at 11:20 a.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Saturday, August 17 at the same time.

About eight minutes after liftoff, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the landing, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

SpaceX’s live webcast will begin approximately 10 minutes before Falcon 9’s liftoff at spacex.com/launches."

This is a daylight event, which will result in limited launch visibility.
