From NASA:
Watch live coverage of NOAA Satellite and Information Service's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) launch starting at 5 p.m. EST on NASA TV:http://www.nasa.gov/nasatv
Launch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. EST.
Today’s expected launch weather forecast is 80 percent 'go.' A SpaceX Falcon 9 will place the spacecraft on a course to L1, an area about a million miles from Earth. DSCOVR will provide critical data necessary for NOAA space weather forecasters to issue timely and accurate warnings of solar storms that have the potential to disrupt major public infrastructure systems such as power grids, telecommunications, aviation and GPS.
