Treasure Coast beaches, parks to see it

A rush hour rocket launch? Around the time hundreds of drivers are heading home from work or dining out, a SpaceX launch window begins.

A Florida rocket launch is on the horizon this week — maybe two — and the Treasure Coast should have a great view of the liftoff, weather permitting. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will potentially lift off Tuesday just after 5 p.m., carrying an Astra 1P satellite, and another Falcon 9 rocket will deploy Starlink Internet satellites.

Can you see a rocket launch from the Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral near Vero Beach or Stuart, Florida? Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover, yes, rocket launches from the neighboring Space Coast may be visible in the Treasure Coast area.

Below is a calendar of upcoming rocket launches and suggestions for where to watch them from Indian River County, Martin County and St. Louis. Lucie County. If there are changes to the launch(s), this story will be updated.
