SpaceX will attempt to launch a Falcon 9 rocket over Southern California, providing a spectacular sight in the sky. The rocket's exhaust plume may be illuminated by the setting sun against the darkening sky. Sky-watchers in various locations might be able to see the rocket and its exhaust plume, and a sonic boom may be heard along the coast. The first-stage booster is planned to land on a droneship at sea.
Space X will try again to launch a Falcon 9 rocket Monday night in what might be a sight to see in the sky over Southern California . Skies are clear enough and the rocket lifts off at the right time from the base about 160 miles northwest of Los Angeles, the Falcon 9 and its exhaust plume are often illuminated by the setting sun against the backdrop of a darkening sky. The launch window will remain open until 11:30 p.m.
Sky-watchers as far away as Sonoma, Reno, southern Colorado and in parts of Utah, New Mexico, and western Mexico might see the rocket and its exhaust plume if it left off early in the launch window. The rocket may also produce a sonic boom a few minutes after liftoff that might be heard along the parts of the coast as it soars south. The first-stage booster is set to land on a droneship at sea. If light conditions are right, the satellites appear in a train as they parade across the night sky
