NASASpaceflight on YouTube to watch live

Launch is scheduled for 10:04 PM CDT and has a 99 minute launch window

now for the questions everyone wants to know... the outer boosters are scheduled to land back at the Cape after they do their job... the center booster will burn up in Earth's atmosphere after it's done

this is the EchoStar 24/Jupiter 3 mission... the largest commercial satellite geostationary launch ever

it looks like the flight is scheduled to go practically due east from the Cape

not sure if that will impact your viewing ability... just a FYI

Landing rockets on a floating barge at sea still blows my mind.

Was supposed to land at sea but they changed it to land. One other thing I just read is that this Echostar satellite will be the heaviest communication satellite ever launched. 9 metric tons.

They’re presently on hold, they have a 89 minute launch window so they’ll have to either shite or get off the pot soon.
