After launch, ULA Vulcan rocket may be seen in Southwest Florida sky

When United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, it may create quite a show in the sky − even for people in Southwest Florida. And this so Florida thing is coming up tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 14. The United Launch Alliance's new Vulcan rocket , which has been grounded since February 2026 when it experienced a mid-flight anomaly , is due to return to flight. The Vulcan rocket, which can fly with up to six solid rocket boosters mounted to the side, is expected to transport a batch of Amazon Leo satellites to low-Earth orbit following liftoff from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, according to the ULA , a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The launch window was originally set for today, Friday, Nov. 13, but was scrubbed and is now set for Saturday, Nov. 14. Although ULA Vulcan launches have been seen far beyond the launch pad (even in other states), the Vulcan rocket's returning launch this week may have lower visibility, due to the launch window falling in the middle of the day. But the lack of darkness could be offset by the fact that ULA is using all six of its rocket boosters
