[Launch Alert] Launch Tonight

[Launch Alert]

Tonight's (February 18-19) launch of a Minuteman III missile from Vandenberg SFB, Calif. appears to be on schedule. The vehicle is slated to lift off from north base between 11:01 p.m. and 05:01 a.m. Pacific Time. Following launch, the vehicle will probably fly a ballistic (non-orbital) trajectory to the central Pacific.

Under very good conditions, the launch could be visible to the unaided eye from Oregon, Nevada, western Utah, western Arizona, and northwest Mexico.
