This H3-22 is aimed farther than a lap around Earth. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is sending it from Tanegashima Space Center, Japan. The ride starts as a very loud climb, then a long quiet coast.

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.

Who is on this flight
Every company we can name, in plain words, plus a careers page when we have a real one.
Careers links are public pages we know. If we do not have one, we do not invent it.
Questions stay with this launch. If a model key is configured on the server, the answer is cached. Without a key, the reply is taken straight from the record.

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.
