So I've missed several interesting launches lately. The WorldView 4 satellite - the one which uses star trackers built in our company - launched last weekend successfully after several months of delay. There were two launches today - a set of European navigational satellites launched this morning, and a crew launched to the Space Station this afternoon. The next departure from Earth is the launch of a very advanced weather satellite, GOES R, on Saturday from Florida at 5:42pm. This is another launch from the United Launch Alliance, and you can see the launch live at www.ulalaunch.com, or at www.nasa.gov. This launch is followed by a very busy end of the year launch season, with no less than 13 launches from the US, Russia, China and India planned before the end of the year. Some of these will not be available for live viewing, but I will try to keep you up to date on when you can see those that can be seen.
