Liftoff is targeted for 8:51 p.m. EDT tonight (0051 GMT on Oct. 1). Nine small satellites will launch to Earth orbit atop Japan's Epsilon rocket tonight (Sept. 30), and you can watch the action live.
An Epsilon is scheduled to lift off from Japan's Uchinoura Space Center tonight during a 4-minute window that opens at 8:51 p.m. EDT (0051 GMT on Oct. 1). You can watch live at Space.com, courtesy of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or directly via JAXA. (FYI: JAXA's feed is in Japanese.)
The Epsilon will haul to orbit for JAXA the Rapid Innovative Payload Demonstration Satellite 2, or RAISE 2 for short, and eight tagalong spacecraft.
