Rocket launch danger areas off east Florida coast, 19 and daily 20-25 Oct

Hazardous operations - rocket launching - will affect two polygonal sea areas off the east coast of Florida. Activity is scheduled 19 Oct 1030-1213Z and daily 20 through 25 Oct 1030-1213Z (alternate). Mariners should avoid the named areas during these times. Message cancels itself at 25 Oct 1313Z 2026.

Avoid and keep clear of the designated areas during the stated times and navigate with caution.

Background

These warning areas cover the Atlantic range used for launches from Florida's east coast launch complex area (Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center are the usual nearby launch sites). Launch trajectories over the Atlantic generate temporary maritime danger zones to protect vessels from falling debris or reentry stages. Such zones are commonly issued for government and commercial launches and are scheduled for the planned launch windows listed in the message.

General background from general knowledge, not from the official warning. It can be wrong; the warning text is authoritative.
