What this is

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is launching a H3-30 from Tanegashima Space Center, Japan. The owner of the cargo has not said what is on board. Families can still watch the rocket fly. We just do not get to know the boxes inside.

The IGS Optical 9 is a Japanese optical reconnaissance satellite. The satellite is operated by the Cabinet Satellite Information Center. The satellite serves both Japan's national defense and civil natural disaster monitoring. 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 6,419 miles northwest. 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.
