Watch Video: Delta IV Rocket Launch Today from Kennedy Space Center

Watch Video: Delta IV Rocket Launch Today from Kennedy Space CenterAfter an earlier attempt had to be rescheduled for weather, this evening will be the next attempt to launch a Delta IV rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

The Delta IV rocket is scheduled for launch at 6:43pm eastern time. While many launches from KSC are broadcast on NASA TV and via live online video stream, that does not appear to be the case for this launch which is being handled by United Launch Alliance, and not by NASA.

United Launch Alliance, a contractor for the U.S. Air Force, will handle this Delta IV rocket launches in support of the AFSPC-04 mission.

Onboard, the payloads include two satellites for the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program which monitors satellite traffic in the crowded geosynchronous belt 22,300 miles above Earth and assists with collision avoidance.

Those interested can watch the Delta IV rocket launch live, from NASA’s launch headquarters in two prime locations.

Viewing is available at the Visitor Complex in two locations adjacent to the home of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Viewing locations are included with admission to the Kennedy Space Center visitor complex in Florida.
