SpaceX launch is scheduled for Sunday morning on the California Coast. Will you see it from Coachella?
Now, shortly after Sunday sunrise, starting with the SpaceX rocket launch on the California coast, can be seen from Coachella Valley.
Officials at the Vandenberg Space Force Base announced Saturday that the Falcon 9 release is scheduled for Sunday at 5:29 a.m.
If the release does not happen for some reason, SpaceX said it will provide an alternate window starting from 5:08 a.m. on Monday, April 21.
According to publication SpaceFlight, the release will carry satellites for the National Reconnaissance Office.
Can SpaceX Rocket launches be seen at Coachella Festival?
If you’re a holiday guy and really early – or, let’s be realistic, still starting the night before – you might be able to see the launch of Indio’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Whether Coachella Valley can see the launch, and how clear it depends on the cloud, the time of day and other factors. Therefore there is no guarantee.
But if you wake up on holidays before 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, it’s worth keeping your eyes on the western sky.
