JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — NASA and SpaceX are proceeding toward a historic launch to the International Space Station from Kennedy Space Center.
On Saturday at 3:22 p.m., the Falcon 9 rocket will carry astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on their mission to the space station.
The launch was originally scheduled for Wednesday at 4:33 p.m., but had to be scrubbed due to weather.
According to Action News Jax First Alert Chief Meteorologist Mike Buresh, here are the best places in the Jacksonville area that will allow the best viewing opportunities of the launch:
- Palm Valley intracoastal bridge: It has a sidewalk and the bridge is nice and tall with parking below on either side
- Any of our beautiful beaches
- Lookout tower at Guana Reserve in St Johns County
- Downtown Jacksonville skyscrapers
Buresh said to make sure you look toward the south/southeast when viewing the launch.
