[Launch Alert] Tuesday Launch

[Launch Alert]

The following is an advisory from SpaceX:

"SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, August 26 for Falcon 9's launch of OHB Italia's NAOS mission from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 27-minute launch window opens at 11:53 a.m. PT. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, August 27 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 15 minutes before Falcon 9's liftoff at spacex.com/launches."

Weather permitting, the launch may be visible to the unaided eye as far away as 100 statute miles.
