Hi All-

never seen a roclet launch during dusk, it can be quite impressive as =
the

VANDENBERG DUSK LAUNCH
The first Vandenberg AFB dusk launch in nearly three years is slated
for Thursday, September 22. The Minotaur booster is scheduled to lift-
off from south Vandenberg at 19:24 PDT, the start of a 16-minute
launch window.
Several minutes later, the rocket will place the Defense Advanced
Research Project Agency's Streak satellite into a polar orbit.
As seen from Santa Barbara, lift-off occurs 29 minutes after sunset.
The Minotaur is expected to climb into sunlight during the second
stage burn at about T+90 seconds. The exhaust plume will be
illuminated by the sun and may create a nice display visible across a
large part of the Southwest and western Mexico.
The launch may be visible until nearly T+13 minutes. For information
on launch viewing and photography, refer to:
