What this is

SpaceX is launching a rocket called Falcon 9 from Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA. The public listing does not name a cargo yet. is a lap close to the planet. Satellites there can take pictures, help phones, or study the air.

SpaceX is flying a Falcon 9 from Unknown Pad, Cape Canaveral SFS, FL, USA. Mission: CHORUS. CHORUS is MDA's next generation Earth observation constellation, consisting of 2 radar satellites (C-band SAR and X-band SAR), in a 53.5 degree 600 km altitude , with the X-band trailing the C-band by 60 minutes. A collaborative multi-sensor constellation, CHORUS will bring together diverse and unique imagery and data sources and provide a new level of near real-time insight and innovative Earth observation services. Operating in a unique mid-inclination orbit, CHORUS will be able to image day or night, regardless of weather conditions, with daily access of up to 95% of the coverage area. From an industry-leading 700km-wide imaging swath down to sub-metre high resolution, CHORUS will provide the most extensive and unrivalled Earth observation radar imaging capacity available on the market in a single mission. 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.

From here

Too far to see

You will not see this rocket from Centennial, Colorado. It is about 1,585 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.
