Jan. 17 Falcon 9 launch of Jason 3 satellite from Vandenberg AFB
« on: December 24, 2015, 12:43:14 AM »
Jan. 17 Falcon 9 • Jason 3
Launch time: 1842:18 GMT (1:42:18 p.m. EST; 10:42:18 a.m. PST)
Launch site: SLC-4E, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Jason 3 ocean altimetry mission. Jason 3 will measure ocean surface topography to aid in ocean circulation and climate change research for NOAA, EUMETSAT, NASA and the French space agency, CNES. Delayed from March 31, July 22 and December.

This should be available on the net somewhere, as well as on NASA TV. Should be pretty good from here, 60 miles WNW, the first Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg.
