Rocketcams offer dazzling views of Atlas 5 launch
When the largest and most powerful Atlas rocket in history thundered to space Friday, three onboard video cameras captured the stunning views of what it’s like to ride the vehicle off the launch pad and into orbit.
Three tiny cameras, built by Ecliptic Enterprises Corp., beamed back the imagery as the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 departed Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41 at 5:15 p.m. EST and headed due east on its climb into a preliminary Earth orbit 12 minutes later carrying a U.S. Navy’s mobile communications satellite.
Wicked photos!

I'm nineteen and I'm crazy. Fangirl, scientist and writer. I'm at college in Boston right now, but New York will always be my home. Likes archeology, astronomy, space travel, history, superhero comics, general science, the oceans, Star Wars, mysteries and Disney. (Which is where my title comes from...)
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
–Walt Disney
