The launch window opens at 8:39 p.m. EST. and extending to 10:38 p.m. EST. DSP-23 (Defense Support Program Satellite 23) is the final in a series of Defense Support Program missile warning satellites to be launched. DSP Satellites have been the spaceborne segment of North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD’s) Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment System since 1970. DSP satellites use infrared sensors to detect heat from missile and booster plumes against the earth’s background providing early detection and warning of missile launches and nuclear explosions. ***Tonights Delta 4 will have on board rocket cams Satellite Coordinates for the Delta IV-Heavy launch : Galaxy26 (Telstar6) @ 93.0°W Transponder 5C (3800 V) Sign on & bars and tone start at 8 p.m. EST.
