Unofficial Re-stream

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket from California carrying 81 payloads as part of its smallsat rideshare program called Transporter. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7, at 12:12 a.m. PDT (3:12 a.m. EDT / 0712 UTC).

The mission will use the Falcon 9 first-stage booster, tail number B1097, which is making its 11th flight. About 8.5 minutes after liftoff, the booster will target a landing on the drone ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ positioned in the Pacific Ocean.

The Transporter 17 mission will follow a southerly trajectory upon departure from Vandenberg.

Spaceflight Now will have live coverage with commentary from Will Robinson-Smith starting about 30 minutes prior to launch.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is a NASA infrared space telescope with a 2.4 m (7.9 ft) wide field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300.8-megapixel multi-band visible and near-infrared camera, providing a sharpness of images comparable to that achieved by the Hubble Space Telescope over a 0.28 square degree field of view, 100 times larger than imaging cameras on the Hubble. The Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is a high-contrast, small field of view camera and spectrometer covering visible and near-infrared wavelengths using novel starlight-suppression technology. Roman objectives include a search for extra-solar planets using gravitational microlensing, and probing the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structure, with the goal of measuring the effects of dark energy, the consistency of general relativity, and the curvature of spacetime.
