Previously, and any ideas?

I used to watch various companies & few nations do their launches regularly & I would learn random information about launches meanwhile.

I lost the links to where I could so this. or the where I would keep up with what launches be next.

Any help? I want to make it a routine to watch launches regularly again.

I will figure out the regaining the knowledge bit unless anyone knows how to do that aswell.

I'm in Arizona

Hi! Which direction should I be looking for tonight's launch (besides up)? I'm guessing to the west?

I saw it. It was to the west. Took a couple of photos and some video. It was partly cloudy, but was partially visible.

Chance of scrub for 6/25 Falcon Heavy launch

I'm thinking about going to KSC to see the GOES-U but I'm concerned that there's a high scrub chance and it may not be worth the trip. From the weather forecasts it seems like there's going to be rain and thunderstorms all around the launch time. How bad does the weather have to be to scrub and what are the chances of it actually scrubbing at this point? I'm having trouble finding info on this.

June 25th GOES-U launch

Any idea on what configuration the June 25 GOES-U launch will be? Will the boosters return to launch site or land on drone ships?

We're trying to put together a viewing trip and we really want to see them landing(ie Jetty Park), but if they're going on the barge then we'll watch from the north side (Playalinda) instead where we get a better view of the launch site

Was there a launch other than SpaceX on Friday, 5/31?

My gf and I were in Joshua Tree, California on Friday, 5/31. Just after 21:00 PDT she noticed what looked like a second stage firing.

The only public launch I can find is the SpaceX mission from Florida, which happened at 19:37 EDT (16:37 PDT).

Alternatively, if this doesn't look like a rocket to y'all, would be curious if anyone has ideas as to what it might be.

Here's a photo of it.

And, here's a brief video.

Can someone explain what these bright orange “chasers” as I would call them are?

The lower trailing “chaser” dropped off and followed about 7-8 seconds prior to the other two which I would assume are the boosters falling off. I’m clearly pretty green, haven’t dug deep and just fortunate to live close enough to see this from my driveway.

Launch Window ?

Hi all, quick question here, is there an average time rockets launch once they see the window?

My flight lands in Orlando at 435p and I see the window opens up at 524p.... so will I have time to book it to the coast or should I just drop the extra cash and get an earlier flight?

Im on the trip for golf but was seeking to catch my first rocket launch. Was hoping a launch would pop up on thurs or friday lol

June 1 Vandenburg Launch

Based on this site which seems to be reliable, there will be a launch on June 1st at Vandenberg. I’d love to go see it (I’m in Utah)

https://www.rocketlaunch.live/launch/transporter-11

Couple questions……

  1. Any way to know what time it will be?
  2. Any way to know where it will be launched from exactly?
  3. Will there be a booster landing as well?

TIA ✌🏼

Space X launch tonight 🚀- 7:30pm Vandenburg

Looks like it could be another spectacular launch like the on last week!

Copied from launch alert

“A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for launch from Vandenberg SFB, Calif. tomorrow evening (March 28). The vehicle is slated to leave south base between 7:30 and 11:24 p.m. PDT and carry 22 Starlink satellites into orbit.

If the vehicle lifts off 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 against a dusk or night sky.”

March 21st SpaceX Launch Canaveral

Wondering how busy and how early we’d have to get to Playalinda to see the 4:55pm launch. Our flight gets in just after 1 to Orlando and we’d like to catch the launch as we’ve never seen one. Also, any other best spots if we can’t make playalinda in time?

Rocket launch or UFO?

We were at a restaurant in Terlingua, TX outside Big Bend National Park when we saw this overhead. You can’t see from the video but it seemed to me like bay doors opened just before the plume of smoke and light escaped. I didn’t see or hear any TV if like a rocket escape, but that sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Is this typical of an in-air launch? Or something otherworldly lol?

Starlink 6-44

Hello. I am in Orlando for a week and really want to witness a launch. I see on various sites that starlink 6-44 will launch tomorrow 13.03 at an estimated time of 7:29 PM local time. How accurate is that launch time, and what are the odds of the launch at all?

How close can you get, and where are some good viewing locations?

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

In advance, thanks Marius
