----------------------------------------------------------------------
THURSDAY VANDENBERG LAUNCH
An Atlas V rocket carrying a classified payload is scheduled for
launch from south Vandenberg AFB this Thursday evening at 22:38 PDT.
Following lift-off, the rocket will climb vertically for several
seconds before it begins a gradual turn and heads over the ocean. If
the launch is successful, the Atlas will place the NROL-42 payload
into orbit for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office.
Weather permitting, the launch could be visible as far away as San
Francisco, Mammoth, and San Diego, Calif.
People in very quiet locations in coastal Santa Barbara and Ventura
Counties and the western Santa Monica mountains may hear a distant,
muffled rumble or perhaps a sonic boom from the launch some time
between T+4 and T+12 minutes.
Members of the public desiring a close-up view of the launch will
probably congregate west of Lompoc in the vicinity of highway 246
(west Ocean Avenue) and Union Sugar Road. However, since this area is
near the coast, there is a possibility that the liftoff will be hidden
by low clouds or fog.
Regardless of where you plan to go to view the launch, allow yourself
enough time to get there well before liftoff. After you arrive, be
aware of your surroundings and possible hazards such as traffic.
For launch status and countdown information, go to:
spaceflightnow.com
www.ula.com
For information on viewing Vandenberg rocket and missile launches, go
to:
www.spacearchive.info/vafbview.htm
During a launch earlier this year, Pete Heins, N6ZE, discovered the
countdown feed was delayed by approximately 75 seconds. Rather than
relying on a feed for launch cueing, use a GPS receiver or another
source to obtain the exact time. You can also set your watch to the
exact time from the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(
www.nist.gov
).

use nine solid rocket motors. This early morning launch could be
visually impressive in Santa Barbara County and visible for hundreds
of miles
Late NOV To be announced Falcon 9 SLC-4E
Vehicle will launch Iridium Next commercial communications satellites
31-40
DEC 13 To be announced Delta IV SLC-6
Vehicle will launch the NROL-47 payload for the U.S. National

Launch Alert
8:28 PM Feb 5, 2018
Correction:
The subject line of the previous issue of Launch Alert was incorrect. The next Vandenberg AFB missile launch is Tuesday night-Wednesday morning, not Tuesday morning.
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- An operational test launch of an Air Force Global Strike Command unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 6, between 11:25 p.m. to 5:25 a.m. PST from north Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The purpose of the ICBM test launch program is to validate and verify the effectiveness, readiness and accuracy of the weapon system, according to Air Force Global Strike Command.
Col. Michael S. Hough, 30th Space Wing commander, is the launch decision authority.
"An operational test like this is vital to the readiness of our combat ready missile force," said Hough. "Team V is proud to work with Air Force Global Strike Command and the Airmen of the 576th Flight Test Squadron in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of this awesome weapon system, the Minuteman III missile."
The 576th Flight Test Squadron is responsible for installed tracking, telemetry and command destruct systems on the missile, which collect data and ensure safety requirements are met.

It doesn't just involve the missile but also the silo from where it was pulled from.

Launch Alert
9:45 AM
KSBY TV reports this morning's planned Minuteman III missile launch from Vandenberg AFB took place at 5:26 a.m. For more information and launch video, go to:
http://www.ksby.com/story/38032233/vandenberg-afb-launches-unarmed-icbm-early-wednesday
It would be interesting to know if anyone saw the launch or later saw the launch aftermath illuminated by the sun before sunrise.
