Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. (May 15, 2014) – The launch of a United Launch Alliance Delta IV carrying the Air Force’s Global Positioning System IIF-6 payload was scrubbed today due to the violation of multiple weather criteria. The launch is rescheduled for Friday, May 16 from Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. The launch time is 8:03 p.m. EDT. The forecast for May 16 shows a 90 percent chance of favorable weather conditions for the launch tomorrow.

I saw a shuttle launch through the window of a commercial flight several years ago.


A friend at work found out the other day that it's possible to coordinate with ATC and I guess Cape Canaveral to fly the space shuttle's instrument approach as a practice approach, haha. I don't think there's much to it other than the novelty factor, although you do start pretty high and stay really fast, probably even relative to a normal high altitude penetration approach.
