NASA Rocket Launch Friday Should Be Visible From New England
This Friday we could get a glimpse of a NASA rocket hurling across the sky above the Atlantic – not something we get to say too often.
Weather-permitting, NASA will launch a “Black Brant XII sounding rocket” from Virginia this Friday at 7:58 p.m. If skies are clear, the launch should be visible up and down the eastern seaboard.
Some tips for catching a peek of the rocket:
It should be visible to our southeast between 30-60 seconds after launch (if the launch goes off as planned at 7:58 p.m)
Clouds could be a factor here due to a band of rain likely Friday evening
If the weather interrupts and cancels the launch itself there are several more launch windows running through May 16th
