What this is

Arianespace is launching a rocket called Ariane 64 from Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. It is for European Space Agency and National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Arianespace is flying a Ariane 64 from Ariane Launch Area 4, Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana. Mission: Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Heliocentric constellation of three laser-equipped spacecraft forming an equilateral triangle with a side distance of 2.5 million km. Its goal is to detect and study gravitational waves. Planned orbit: Heliocentric N/A. 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.

Story written from the public listing. A model key can be added later; none is required.

From here

Too far to see

You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 4,007 miles east. 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.

Careers links are public pages we know. If we do not have one, we do not invent it.

So the slip still finds you

A single launch can be saved now. The subscribe feed, on the launches page, is the one that moves when a rocket slips. Calendar alarms do not know about bedtime quiet hours.
