Mixed conditions — viable but not a guaranteed shot.
A jellyfish plume climbs above 100 km and is visible for hundreds of kilometers — but only through clear sky. Cloud cover is the single biggest factor in whether you'll actually see it.
Could hit 9.9 · Legendary at the best moment in the window.
Marginal twilight — a faint plume may show, largely washed out by sky glow.
Footprint walks Assembly Bay's generic ascent profile scaled to the target orbit — the same track its auto-builder uses. Assumed GEO insertion via GTO (27° inclination, east).
Set your location to see exactly which way to look, how high the plume climbs, and whether you're inside a viewing zone.
Zones match the grade meter: Possible (outer) → Likely → Prime (inner). Closer to the plume and deeper in twilight means a brighter, higher show. Look toward the launch around liftoff, into the darker part of the sky.
