002 Commercial Orbital Transportation Services Demo Flight 2 carrying a Dragon capsule to the ISS for first time! A major milestone as private industry develops access to Space instead of governments. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden: "It's a great day for America! It's actually a great day for the world! There are people who thought we had gone away, but we haven't gone away at all." Congratulations to Elon Musk and his intrepid team! Good luck on the rest of the mission! |

AV-030 From an unusual vantage point, an Atlas 5 rocket and the 200th Centaur upper stage lifts off from Cape Canaveral's oceanside Pad 41 with MUOS-1, a US Navy communications satellite and the heaviest Atlas payoad in history at over 15,000 lbs. The rocket flew in its biggest configuration ever, standing 21 stories tall and strapped with five solid rocket boosters. In this view from about 300 feet up and 1800 feet away stop the Atlas' assembly tower, the 206-foot vehicle begins to arc downrange. |

D356 For the final time in history, the Complex 17 Pad B Mobile Service Tower is retracted in this nighttime time-lapse photo from around the 13-story Delta 2 rocket that will propel NASA's twin GRAIL probes to the moon. Historic Complex 17, the oldest active launch pad at Cape Canaveral, will see its final launch after six decades. Its first, also from Pad B, was in January 1957. The pad hosted its first space launch with Echo 1, the world's first comm sat, and the first Delta launch, in 1960. |

The first few seconds of a six year mission. In the future, this rocket will be taking humans into space. Reports of the death of the American space program are greatly exaggerated!

AV-029 Standing 58.3 m (191.2 ft) tall, the rocket departs the Vertical Integration Building carrying the JUNO spacecraft in her upper stage. This very reliable launch vehicle is taller than a Space Shuttle Stack which is 56.14 m (184.2 feet). It is planned to be modified to carry astronauts into space in the near future. Atlas V rockets are assembled vertically on a mobile launch platform. A "551" model with a 5 meter diameter payload fairing,5 solid rocket motors and 1 Centaur upper stage. |
