Watch live as a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta 4 Heavy rocket flies for the final time Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 2:03 p.m. EDT (1803 UTC) on Thursday, March 28. The three-core liquid hydrogen fueled rocket is carrying a top secret payload for the U.S. military's spy satellite agency, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).

Our live coverage from Cape Canaveral, with commentary by Will Robinson-Smith, will begin about 90 minutes prior to launch. It will be the 16th launch for the Delta IV Heavy rocket.

That may or may not be a show. Sunset here is 7:11 pm. There may be just enough light over the horizon to backlight that.

Is the launch 8:30 or 7:30?
Thought I saw 7:30-11:30 is their window.

Space X reported it as now 8:30 pm Pacific Time. I'd been sitting on my front patio waiting, googled it and saw the change.

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 23 Starlink internet relay satellites. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 6:17 p.m. EDT (2217 UTC) on Tuesday, Apr. 23. The first-stage booster making its ninth flight will land on SpaceX's drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions', stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, about eight and a half minutes into the flight.

The mission, designated Starlink 6-53, will be the 28th launch of Starlink satellites and the 41st flight of a Falcon 9 rocket this year.

Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff.

They are like flying Pencils.
Yaw, pitch & roll with some serious calculus to make it happen.
