On Wednesday, Nov. 7, WKTV will be featuring the launch of the ICON satellite, otherwise known as the Ionospheric Connection Explorer.
The Ionospheric Connection Explorer will study the frontier of space: the dynamic zone high in our atmosphere where Earth weather and space weather meet. Here, the tenuous gases are anything but quiet, as a mix of neutral and charged particles swirl in giant winds.
Coverage begins at 2:45 a.m., with a 90-minute launch window opening at 3 a.m. Release from the Stargazer Aircraft is anticipated for 3:05 a.m.
Stay tune for the release of the JAXA HTV-7 Cargo Craft from the International Space Station. Coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. with the release scheduled for 11:50 a.m.
