Missed that.
NASA have optical tracking just about perfect these days. Other space agencies are a lot less proficient at this.
Both NASA and ESA live videos tend to be HD these days - the Russians seem to still be in the SVGA stage NASA have optical tracking just about perfect these days. Other space agencies are a lot less proficient at this.
Docking with ISS will be live later this afternoon around 16:30 ( I think )
Liftoff of the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, or MMS, is targeted for March 12 at 10:44 p.m. EDT (March 13 0244 GMT), the opening of a 30-minute nighttime launch opportunity.
Launch vehicle is an Atlas V

In this mission, SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket will deliver the ABS 3A and EUTELSAT 115 West B satellites to a supersynchronous transfer orbit. The ABS/Eutelsat-1 launch window is targeted to open at approximately 10:50pm EST on Sunday, March 1, 2015, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. If all goes as planned, the satellites will be deployed beginning approximately 30 minutes after liftoff.

Not a launch per se, but ATK will be carrying out a ground test of a revised SRB for the SLS programme next Wednesday
"The largest, most powerful booster ever built for NASA's new rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), will fire up for a ground test at 11:30 a.m. EDT ( 16:30 GMT ) Wednesday, March 11, at Orbital ATK Propulsion Systems’ test facilities in Promontory, Utah."
It will be shown on NASA TV

Not so much a launch as a test firing. Orbital ATK (formerly Morton-Thiokol) will be test firing the five stage Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) at 4.30 pm today. It will be live on NASA TV.
The five stage SRB will be used on the new Space Launch System (SLS - I hope they give the booster a decent name soon).

SpaceX launch now delayed until late April - but the one supposed to be after it will keep the original date of April the 10th, essentially swapping them in order
http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/03/21/spacex-swaps-...
Sources said the launch date and time could be adjusted in the next few weeks, but is currently scheduled for 2142 GMT on April 10.
