Leaving out of Port Carnavel 6/12. Rocket lalunch

[geocruiser]

Hi,

 

I thought you might want to know there might be a rocket launch on 6/12 or 6/13 if I am read this right. You would have a great view if it goes off on 6/12 and you get to Port C on 6/12. On 6/13 the time of lift off would be after the ship leaves. Not sure I am reading the lift off time right. So please check it out.

Good luck--We've been in/near pot for several scheduled launches. Most were ultimately rescheduled.

Yes that does happen. I have been lucky and have seen many, due to the fact that I live close by during the winter.

 

PS

I see my spelling mistake in the title. Sorry:)

Looks like it got moved to 6/15 if I recall the email I got earlier today correctly.

90% of launches get scrubbed the first and second time. I can see them go up from my home if the weather cooperates, although I'm 60 miles away, so it can be clear at the Port and raining cats and dogs at my house. (or vice versa)

If this update is valid (dated 6/10) the launch could be when Dream is back in port.

 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla – SpaceFlight Insider has received a report that the launch of a Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX ), Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket with a primary payload of the Orbcomm OG2 satellite has been delayed by three days to allow technicians to test out elements of the Orbcomm OG2 spacecraft prior to launch. If this report is accurate, liftoff would occur no earlier than Sunday, June 15 Father’s Day at 8 a.m. EDT (0000 GMT). Engineers with Orbcomm needed the delay to review systems within the spacecraft.

Too bad the rocket did not go up. We spend the winter 25 miles south of the cape by the ocean and have a great view of the rockets going up. I have been lucky to see many of them go up.
