Looks like things are cooking up at the Western Pacific coast - the next Japanese spysat has been confirmed to fly on March 16 with the standard launch period of 01:00 - 03:00 UTC.  ;)

Congrats to MHI and JAXA on another successful H-IIA launch. To be honest, this was the first H-IIA launch I've watched on a livestream. The others I've seen after they entered orbit.
Liftoff for St. Jude's! Go Dragon, Go Falcon, Godspeed Inspiration4!

Thank you, NSF contributors, for the launch coverage!  Again, a great way to record the event for posterity, and a great way to follow up on launches that one cannot watch live.
