Description

NROL76 by SpaceX

This is the view from the NASA Causeway this morning (Monday, May 1, 2017) at 6:55am, 5 minutes before the launch window would open for the expected launch of the #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket carrying the classified #NROL76 payload.

By this point we had been told that 7:15am was the time they were targeting, and in fact, the rocket would launch at that time, with the first stage landing 9 minutes later.

Visible here is United Launch Alliance​'s Launch Complex 37 and of course, the Sun, bursting through the clouds.

Sean, the PAO from SpaceX, upon seeing John Studwell​ and me shooting this scene, joked that we were pointing the wrong way (the SpaceX pad is to the left).
