Posted by timothy on from the road-trip-time dept.

PeterBrett writes "SpaceX has finally announced the window for its first much-awaited Falcon 9 launch from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral. Subject to good weather, the company plans to launch either on Friday, June 4, or Saturday, June 5, with the window opening at 12:00 UTC on each day. As usual, SpaceX will be broadcasting the launch live from its website."

    Their website states 1500 UTC too. So its one of those rare occasions where there is an error in the summary.

    According to SpaceX, the launch windows will open at 11:00 EDT (10 CDT for those of us in NOLA), which is 1500 UTC.

    Yeah, sorry -- I'm an idiot who, apparently, can neither read the e-mail in my inbox nor the website I linked to.

    Hey, you get what you pay for. :-P
