Minotaur I/ORS-3 "The launch of a Minotaur I rocket for the U.S. Air Force ORS-3 mission is scheduled to occur on November 19, 2013, with a planned launch window from 7:30 -9:15 pm EST. The launch, from ignition to delivery of the satellites in orbit, will take a little less than twelve-and-a-half minutes, with a targeted 500 km circular orbit at an inclination of 40.5 degrees."
Update: I saw the stage 3 burn. Looked like a bright mars moving across the sky a little faster than an airplane, then it disappeared. Very cool.
