Video of the Atlas V USSF-12 Launch, July 01, 2022
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.
