SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Saturday afternoon
Hi all. A mostly cloudy afternoon here but I did get two shots of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch after it finally cleared the clouds at 2:21 pm EST from my backyard. See photos below:
Here are the details:
On Saturday, November 26th at 2:20 pm EST, SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 26th Dragon Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-26) mission from the Kennedy Space Center LC-39A (Launch Control) pad. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the first flight of the Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission.
I hope that you enjoy the photos.
