NASA's ICON mission is scheduled to launch today, so be sure to hop into Bigscreen and watch it live with other enthusiasts!

An air-launched Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket will deploy NASA’s Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) satellite into orbit. ICON will study the ionosphere, a region of Earth’s upper atmosphere where terrestrial weather meets space weather.



There are a few more scheduled launches for October, but dates are tentative and we'll update them accordingly.

• Rocket Lab's Electron Launch
• SpaceX's Falcon 9 Launch

Launch update🚀: Thunderstorms are rolling in over Launch Complex 1, but forecasts show a brief reprieve late in the week. As such, we're currently targeting no earlier than Thursday 17 Oct UTC for the launch of our 9th Electron mission, 'As The Crow Flies'.

A Rocket Lab Electron rocket will launch on its ninth flight from a facility on the Mahia Peninsula on New Zealand’s North Island. The Electron rocket and its Curie upper stage will place the Palisade CubeSat into orbit for Astro Digital on a technology demonstration mission. Palisade is a 16U CubeSat with an on-board propulsion system and a next-generation communications system. The mission is nicknamed “As The Crow Flies.”
