[Launch Alert] Rocket Launch Tonight

[Launch Alert]

Tonight's (March 10) launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg SFB, Calif. appears to be on schedule. The vehicle is slated to leave south base at 7:13 p.m. PDT and carry 23 Starlink satellites into orbit.

If the vehicle lifts off at 7:13 p.m. or early in the launch window, a large portion of the southwestern U.S. and northwest Mexico could be treated to an interesting display as the rocket's exhaust is illuminated by the Sun at high altitude while suspended in a dusk or night sky.
