Spionagesatelliet NRO gelanceerd met Delta IV, 's werelds krachtigste raket

Gisteren (11 juni om 01.51 uur plaatselijke tijd) is vanaf Space Launch Complex-37 op Cape Canaveral Air Force Station de NROL-37 gelanceerd, een spionagesatelliet van het National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).  Behalve dat het een dure satelliet was (prijskaartje $ 1,5 miljard) was ’t ook een zware en grote satelliet, want de United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta IV raket kwam er aan te pas om ‘m in de ruimte te brengen, op dit moment de krachtigste raket die er bestaat. Hieronder videobeelden van de lancering.
