The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket is launching from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying the United States Air Force GPS IIF-12 navigation satellite as part of the IIF Global Positioning System series . It is scheduled for February 5, 2016 8:37 am EST from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Space Launch Complex 41.
I'm looking forward to watching let's hope the weather will cooperate

Yup!
We saw the smoke trail from our neighborhood.
The predawn launches are more fun.
We check the Cape Canaveral launch schedule regularly.

While watching Rocky & the Rollers tonight at Brownwood, I saw my first rocket launch smoke trail and glimmer from the vehicle itself with the launching of SES-9 SpaceX from Cape Canaveral at 6:35 P.M. It was cool to see!

It really was terrific. I heard it was getting ready to go and ran out to the driveway. Had a great view.

Was coming home from Wal-Mart so I saw most of it on the drive east. I had to go pick up dinner and lost track of when the launch was. God was smiling at me tonight and allowed the co-incidences to flow for my benefit.

We saw it from Epcot. Didn't know it was happening but the person next to us did.

Watched it from my patio across from Southern Star. We started to drive to Cape yesterday to watch it, but with 4 scrubs I didn't want to chance it. Awesome seeing it.
