Excited to watch the launch of #XRISM, a #JAXA / #NASA collaborative X-ray observatory mission, with #ESA participation. It looks like it's scheduled to launch at about 8:26 pm EDT (00:26 Aug 28 UTC) according to the information here:

The #JAXA English language live stream appears to be here (and seems like it's started but just elevator music so far):
