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.

NASA TV can be seen on the WKTV 26 Government Channel on Comcast and AT&T U-verse 99 Government Channel 99.
