The scheduled launch this weekend of a resupply mission to the International Space Station may be visible to much of the East Coast, from the Carolinas to Connecticut.

The Antares rocket is scheduled to launch at 9:59 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, from NASA’s Wallops Island Flight Facility in Virginia.

NASA TV will livestream the launch starting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. Updates will also be posted on the Wallops Island Facebook and Twitter pages.

To see it yourself from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, you’ll need a clear view of the southern sky. It will appear as a bright dot moving across the sky between two and two-and-a-half minutes after launch, though visibility may be reduced by daylight.

The National Weather Service forecast in our area calls for clear, sunny skies Saturday morning.
