This week is a busy one for the Space Coast, with two rocket launches planned. The next launch has been tentatively set for St. Patrick’s Day or March 18th, when the United Launch Alliance (ULA) plans to launch its Delta IV rocket carrying a global communications satellite to orbit for the US Air Force. ULA will be at it again on March 24 with the launch of its Atlas V carrying Orbital ATK’s Cygnus OA-7 with freight to service the International Space Station. The weather forecast for both launches indicates clear, breezy conditions, perfect for viewing.
