Watch: A live webcast of the mission is scheduled to begin about five minutes before liftoff at spacex.com/launches and on X @SpaceX.
To watch the liftoff in person, the Lompoc Valley has multiple locations offering views of the launch pad. Those include the peak of Harris Grade Road, west of Lompoc’s city limits and around Vandenberg Village, including near the intersection of Moonglow and Stardust roads.
If skies are clear, the rocket’s departure also might be visible from elsewhere around California and, under certain conditions, other Western states. Those typically occur for launches near sunrise and sunset.
