SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Thursday at sunset
Hi all. A nice sunset here this evening and I got 4 shots of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at 5:27 pm EST from my backyard. See photos below:
These first two are the initial launch liftoff:
The third one is the booster rocket separation and the final one in the upper left has the booster ready to makes it's reentry and in the lower right the Falcon 9 continues on it's orbit:
Here are the details:
On Thursday, December 8th at 5:27 pm EST, SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 from the Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex pad LC-39A. The OneWeb 1 mission is carrying satellites that will be sent into low-Earth orbit. The first stage booster in the mission will land at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Landing Zone 1 after the stage separation is complete.
I hope that you enjoy the photos.
