What a spectacular launch on the Space Coast tonight! The military communications satellite rocketed into orbit at 7:38 pm on Thursday, January 19. Blastoff lit up the sky! The first picture below shows a timed exposure of the launch and its reflection on our pond. The second picture shows the fun mission patch for the Delta 4 rocket and its WGS 4 payload.
