Rocket launch due tonight from Vandenberg. Where you can see liftoff

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch tonight (Aug. 18) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California, with a four-hour launch window opening at 7 p.m. PT. The two-stage, 230-foot rocket will deploy 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on yet another mission for the internet-constellation company. Space Launch Complex 4-East (SLC-4E) is the departure point for the Falcon 9, which SpaceX leases at Vandenberg. Patchy fog and cloudy conditions are forecast during the window, and the mission may slip if weather or rocket issues arise. Viewings aren’t officially hosted because it’s an active military base.
