What this is
SpaceX is launching a rocket called Falcon 9 from Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA. The public listing does not name a cargo yet. A polar path goes over the top and bottom of Earth, so the satellite can eventually see the whole world.
SpaceX is flying a Falcon 9 from Space Launch Complex 4E, Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA. Mission: GRACE-C. GRACE-C (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment-Continuity) is a successor to the original GRACE and GRACE-FO missions, providing month-to-month changes of Earth's gravity field to track water movement and surface mass changes across the planet, monitoring variations in ice sheets, glaciers, underground water storage, soil moisture, and sea levels. GRACE-C consists of two identical satellites flying around 200 km apart at an orbit altitude of 500 km with an inclination of 89 degrees. Each satellite will measure approximately 3 x 2 x 1 meters and weigh around 600 kg. This launch will also carry ride-sharing small satellites via Exolaunch. Planned orbit: . Status: To Be Determined. Current date is a placeholder or rough estimation based on unreliable or interpreted sources. The published time can still slip. Rockets wait for weather, boats, and the range.

Too far to see
You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 930 miles west. The broadcast is the view.
That is too far for the flame and, for almost every launch, too far for the high-altitude plume. Dim the lights and watch together anyway. The clock is still loose, so daylight is a guess.
