Be ready! Another twilight rocket launch planned for the Central Coast

We could see another spectacular twilight show in the skies over the Tri-Counties.

SpaceX is set to launch spy satellites from the Central Coast Friday evening.

A Falcon 9 rocket is to carry a National Reconnaissance Office payload into orbit. It is not yet known how many satellites will be aboard the NROL-186 mission. A group of satellites was launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base in May.

There is a two-hour launch window that opens at 8:14 p.m. Friday.
