I know it’s been discussed in this thread. But I don’t know on what page.
What is the booster that launched the NROL-87 mission? And how many flights does it have now? If memory serves 87 was its first mission. |

I had an awesome view from Ft. Myers. Could see it for at least 6 minutes with the SE trajectory.
It never gets old. |

OP, thanks for the post.
I saw it about 10 mins before the launch, which was enough time to go outside and see it in the night sky.  Attached File |

I jumped on it and our dish should be here in 2-4 weeks. My understanding is it is essentially the same thing as the stationary Starlink RV service. Any guesstimate what kind of speeds we should see? This is what we are currently getting with our FirstNet cell hotspot so... I'm hoping Starlink does a little better at least.  https://www.speedtest.net/result/14188462061.png |

Space Systems Command (SSC) has announced that the next U.S. Space Force mission is scheduled to lift off from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A at 5:55 p.m. ET (22:55 UTC), with a backup opportunity on Sunday, Jan. 15 at 5:56 p.m. ET (22:56 UTC), using SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket.

Mission: Falcon Heavy, USSF-67
1) Background info: Source "A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket will launch the USSF 67 mission for the U.S. Space Force. The mission will launch the Space Force’s second Continuous Broadcast Augmenting SATCOM, or CBAS 2, military communications satellite and the Long Duration Propulsive ESPA 3A, or LDPE 3A, rideshare satellite hosting multiple experimental payloads." Article on LDPE payload 2) Launch window: 5:56 - 6:33 PM EST (15 January 2023) 3) Launch Site: LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida 4) Launch direction: East 5) Webcast viewing options: a. SpaceX webcast (Starts about 15 minutes before liftoff) b. YouTube:  USSF-67 Mission c. SpaceFlightNow video link  Launch Pad Live: Falcon 9 / Falcon Heavy / Starship 6) Observation comments: Sunset is 5:47 PM EST. Civil twilight at 6:13 PM. It would be better if the launch was 10-20 minutes later but this one still has the potential to be incredible with two boosters doing boostback burns. 7) Launch preparations: a. Boats heading out. I never saw a posting but am assuming that a ship (Bob) will attempt to recover the fairings. The light blue boat at 64.6655 W, 27.5864 N may be Bob. b.

Anyone know the approximate delay on the webcast?
My parents are getting lucky... they landed there this morning, if they listen to me they'll watch the dual landing from port canaveral. I'm making a quick trip down Wed-Sunday to meet them for a few days. Kennedy view park already had people setting up tripods hours ago.  |

The viewing area for the landing zone is full at 12:45pm today. I did warn my parents they had to go EARLY

My parents view. I called my mom 10 minutes ago and tried to tell here where to look so that she could tell my father. She's was too busy talking to the people around her to listen
 There's are 5% chance she relay's any info to my father, hopefully he pays attention and tracks the boosters as they go up and come back.

Nailed it. I don’t understand the math of why they don’t recover the middle stage on the barge on some launches. But the reentry and landing of the side boosters was awesome

Not enough fuel to conduct a safe landing. That's my assumption anyway. I may be totally off base |

Nice! As far as not recovering the center stack they said they used up all the fuel pushing it out to space so none is left to perform a recovery. I got my wife to watch and they didn't show both landing at the same time. Kinda bumbed on that!

Normally don't bother, too many but it was so clear I wanted to watch with binocs to see the boosters come back down and do their various burns and adjustments as normally it is not so crystal clear to see that.
Very nice from about 50 miles away |

All the performance of the center core is needed to allow the second stage to insert the payloads into geosynchronous orbit. |

Holy crap I could see it from my place in the middle of NC.
 Turns out there's a small lake directly next to my apartment complex, that points almost due south, with a walking bridge that goes directly over the lake. Once the rocket gets above the tree line, I can watch it the whole way until it is out of sight. Might have to get some nice binoculars to watch it again in the future. It's just a small point of light moving across the sky from where I am, but it's still pretty cool that I can see it. |
