Kennedy Space Center


Our travels on Jan. 27th took us past the Kennedy Space Center.  We continue to hear broadcasts on the V.H.F. radio from the U.S. Coast Guard.  They are advising mariners to stay clear of a security zone that's in effect awaiting the launch of a Space X Falcon 9 rocket carrying the CSG 2 radar surveillance satellite for the Italian Space Agency. 

The rocket booster will be retrieved after it drops into the ocean security zone. 

We continue to watch the sky during the "window to launch" time each day (6:11 p.m. - 6:22 p.m.) but alas the launch was "scrubbed" January 26th and January 27th ..... possibly tonight?  We'll keep watch.
