Hi everyone, Will I be able to see the Vandenburg satellite launch from my location on the north shore of Lake Tahoe (around 2:48 PDT, 28 Oct)? Thanks, Gigi
That will depend on your local circumstances. Best to observe from a dark sky site. Since the lighting on this launch will not be ideal you (or we in Utah) wont be able to see the exhaust plume. However, we might be able to see the exhaust flame during the boost phase. Also you'll want to observe from a location with a low, flat horizon in the direction of VAFB.
