Summary
12:24 a.m. ET on July 2 is the earliest liftoff time for ULA’s Atlas V from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying a batch of Amazon Leo broadband satellites to low-Earth orbit.
The mission is ULA’s eighth Amazon Leo constellation flight, with a launch window running until 12:53 a.m. ET from Launch Complex 41.
A northeast trajectory could make the nighttime launch visible across most of Florida and along the East Coast up to New England, with ULA also showing visibility west toward Tennessee, Kentucky and parts of Alabama.
Weather and cloud cover remain the main constraint on viewing, though past Florida launches have been spotted hundreds of miles away, including in North Carolina and New Jersey.
