United Launch Alliance launched a slimmed down (no solid boosters) Atlas V shortly after 2pm ET from launch pad SLC-41 at Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Tory Bruno, CEO of ULA, announced after 4pm ET that the launch was successful. This marks ULA’s 158th successful launch in a row.
United Launch Alliance (ULA) successfully launched an Atlas-V rocket carrying the NROL-107 “Silent Barker” mission today from Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41. Atlas V lifted off at 8:47 AM EDT under sunny skies in Florida.
I’ve been rather busy of late, mostly on my professional side. Some fun projects, a hurricane, some travel and so forth…and as a result I haven’t posted much to this blog lately.
That said, I have been busy taking photographs. Here’s a gallery of the launch photos:
United Launch Alliance’s fifth mission of the year lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 6:29 a.m. EDT (1029 GMT) Thursday. An Atlas V 421 carrying a US Space Force missile warning satellite into orbit.
After a scrubbed launch the day due to thunderstorms before, and one delayed this by a persistent storms, winds and a single anvil cloud directly over the launch pad, a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral at 7:15 p.m. EDT (2315 GMT), carrying two experimental satellites for the U.S. Space Force. Here’s a short sequence of the launch sequence that I made.
This video was made from the LC-39 gantry at Kennedy Space Center. At only 2.3 miles from the launch pad itself, the Gantry offers the best views of a launch that the public can get access to, and the sound from the rocket there is tremendously loud — all in all, it’s an exciting place to be for a rocket launch. This is a very representative view of what ticket holders there see with their own eyes.
I recommend clicking through and watching full-screen in YouTube in 4K or HD.
