SpaceX warns risk of sonic growth Tuesday – NBC Los Angeles

Southern Californians needn’t be alarmed on Tuesday in the event that they hear a sonic growth, SpaceX warns.

The aerospace firm stated Falcon 9 is aiming to launch NASA’s TRACERS mission from Vandenberg House Drive Base on Tuesday. The launch window will open at 11:13 a.m. out of the Santa Barbara County base.

Roughly eight minutes after lifting off, the rocket’s first stage is slated to land at Vandenberg. When this happens, there could also be one or two sonic booms heard all through Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, SpaceX warns. That every one is dependent upon climate and different elements.

If Tuesday proves to be tough for launch, the corporate stated it should attempt once more on Wednesday on the identical time.

Those that want to tune in to SpaceX’s launch can view its livestream quarter-hour earlier than liftoff.
