Keep your eyes to the skies for this Sunday’s rocket launch! SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch from Florida’s Space Coast on a mission to insert the Telstar 18 VANTAGE satellite into orbit. The satellite will increase interconnectivity between Asia and the Americas. The rocket launch is scheduled for 11:29pm, September 9th from  Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral. SpaceX will attempt to land the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage on the recovery platform drone ship Of Course I Still Love You.

The rocket launch will be visible for most of the surrounding Space Coast. Our beautiful beaches are popular launch viewing locations. Jetty Park, Port Canaveral, and the Cocoa Beach Pier are also popular viewing spots. The weather forecast for Friday indicates partly cloudy skies with scattered thunderstorms across Central Florida. Check your local weather station for up to date weather reports.
