After hanging out in storage for over a decade, the Deep Space Climate Observatory is finally being launched to monitor solar storms. The satellite is getting into space on the back of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which means we're also counting down to another historic barge landing attempt!

The launch is scheduled for 6:10:12 p.m. EST out of Cape Canaveral Complex 40 launch pad in Florida. The weather is looking great with 90% chances of being acceptable during the launch window, with a bit of side-eye being directed at a cold-front and approaching clouds in the distance. Watch it live here:

Sounds like they’re working some kind of avionics bug.

I hope they get it debugged since their launch window is only one second.
