SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Tuesday morning
Hi all. Finally a sunny morning here and I got 3 shots of the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at 9:59 am EST from my backyard. See photos below:
Here are the details:
On Tuesday, January 3rd at 9:59 am EST, SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station - SLC40. The Transporter-6 mission will launch EOS SAT-1 for EOSDA on this mission; that's the first of seven agriculture-focused satellites for the company's new constellation. EOS SAT-1 will be the last of the 114 satellites to deploy during the Transporter-6 mission, according to a SpaceX mission timeline. Following stage separation Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 1(LZ1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
I hope that you enjoy the photos.

Re: SpaceX Falcon 9 launch Tuesday morning
Hi all. Thanks for your much appreciated comments and to Gordon for my first APOD Award. Well, Sheri and I have been fighting a bad flu the last 12 days and not having much energy but I did accomplish something this last week with these photos. We are feeling much better now, so today I am playing catch up on the TSS forum.
