NASA launch visible along the East Coast 8/1/2023
According to this article: https://www.yahoo.com/news/nasa-rocket-launch-may-visible-150436479.html We might be able to see a rocket heading into space tomorrow. I have a thing to do, but someone else take a peek around 8:31PM to the south and maybe you'll see it.
Yes, the Antares rocket launches from Wallops Island in VA and goes to the ISS as a re-supply mission, it launches tonight (Tuesday) at 8:30pm. And due to the inclination of the ISS, the rocket needs to travel NorthEast, meaning some portion of the flight is visible to the NE coast.
I was initially planning to to go to Washington's Rock near Warren NJ to get a good look, but I remembered that I'm busy tonight (as I am practically every night), so I'll just catch it on Youtube.
You guys that are an hour South of me should be able to get an even better view. I would love to be able to find the time to drive to Cape May, which is practically next to Wallops and view it there, but I never seem to get the chance.
I've got a Red Cross thing for "National Night Out" (whatever that is) down in Lakewood. I'll likely be driving a truck when the launch happens. So I'll miss it me thinks. Maybe someone will take pictures or video and post it online? (what are the odds!)
