Space fans on Florida's Space Coast may see a sunset United Launch Alliance rocket launch tonight from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

ULA is targeting an hourlong window from 7:59 p.m. to 8:59 p.m. to launch a 202-foot Vulcan rocket with six solid rocket boosters from Launch Complex 41. Sunset will occur at 8:04 p.m., per The Old Farmer's Almanac

The Vulcan will follow a due-east trajectory during the USSF-106 national security mission for the Space Force’s Space Systems Command.

The Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron predicted 80% odds of "go for launch" weather, citing cumulus clouds and a low-to-moderate risk of solar activity as low-probability risks.

No Brevard County sonic booms should occur. Check back for live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team launch coverage updates on this page, starting about two hours before the launch window opens. When ULA's live webcast begins about 7:39 p.m., we’ll post it below next to our countdown clock.
