Mission description from Launch Library 2.
See it on the radar: the countdown, the flight path and where to look from your ZIP code.
Can I see it?
Set your ZIP code on the radar to see how far you are from the pad.
Liftoff is in daylight at the pad. In daylight a rocket shows only as a white exhaust trail, which people usually see from within about 124 mi (200 km).
It should head northeast from the pad. We guess the heading from the target orbit, so the real path can differ.
Whether you can see it depends on where you are, the weather and the exact time. Open it on Astro Radar with your ZIP code for a modeled estimate of where to look, worked out for every second of the flight. It is an estimate, not a promise.
