[Launch Alert] Saturday Launch

[Launch Alert]

The following is an advisory from Vandenberg SFB:

"Space Launch Delta 30 Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the upcoming launch of the USSF-385 mission Saturday, September 26 from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E). The three-hour launch window opens at 5:56 a.m. PT. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Sunday, September 27 at 5:49 a.m. PT. A live webcast of the USSF-385 mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX."

The orange flame from the first stage could be visible to the unaided eye up to 100 statute miles from the launch pad and either side of the Falcon's flight path. The vehicle should also briefly produce a white vapor trail during the early portion of the first stage burn. The second stage burn will probably be invisible.

For a better view of the launch, use tripod-mounted binoculars or a spotting scope. An astronomical telescope with a low-power eyepiece will probably provide the best view.
