“Visibility will be more difficult than a nighttime launch, but sharp eyes will still be able to see it from Richmond,” CBS 6 chief meteorologist Zach Daniel said. “We’ll have a delay of about 80 seconds after liftoff before it is visible.”

The spacecraft should arrive at the space station Friday, April 19.

NASA TV’s coverage of Wednesdays launch is scheduled to begin at 4:15 p.m.
