Earlier this month I freelanced for Astronomy Magazine and was able to capture and witness the launch of NASA's new Orion spacecraft aboard the massive 238ft tall United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket. Launch occurred at 7:05am EST on December 5th from Pad 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. More images can be found at this link: http://www.abmedia.com/astro/EFT-1/
A gallery of my images along with an article can be found on the Astronomy Magazine website.
Go Orion!
