If conditions are clear enough, the launch could be visible to residents well into South Florida. Transporter-2 has another treat in store for Florida: unlike most missions that fly toward the northeast or even straight out east over the Atlantic, Falcon 9 will rapidly gimbal its engines after launch and turn toward the south on a kind of polar trajectory known as sun-synchronous. In Transporter-2 mission, flight path may be visible in South Florida The first Transporter flight broke records in January with a whopping 143 spacecraft, while Tuesday's launch will include 88 total payloads. (CNN) Night owls on the mid-Atlantic coast were treated to a show in the sky overnight as a NASA rocket launched from the.

NASA shares photo of enormous asteroid that's set to skim past Earth this week I stopped and stared and watched as the rockets fired and the shuttle went up and up and up.Top weather expert says damage to climate could be reversed after lockdown.NASA had warned yesterday there is a chance of cancellation if the weather prevents take-off. If it all goes to plan, it means we could see the rocket flying over Ireland and the UK 15 minutes later, which will be around 9.45-9.50pm BST, reports the Manchester Evening News.
