     For the first time in 2017, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida was shaken by the roar of a rocket. On January 20, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket lofted a satellite that will make the world a safer place. The Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS GEO-3) will monitor the globe, watching for missile launches using its infrared sensors, serving as an early warning detection system for potential threats.

     I made these photographs while standing 1.9 miles from Launch Complex 41. From this distance, the rocket was alarmingly loud. It took intense concentration to operate the camera in this violent acoustic environment. The supersonic flow exiting the RD-180 engine nozzles caused a crackling sound which I could feel thumping against my chest.

     I watched as the rocket disappeared into its orbit, but even after the vehicle was out of sight, I still heard its engines. After this, the only remaining remnant of the rocket was the strong scent of RP-1 (refined kerosene) exhaust, wafting about. I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning and rocket exhaust at night.

Epcot - Real Mission to Space - SBIRS GEO Flight 3 Launch by Jeff Krause Via Flickr: I was able to capture ULA Atlas V rocket launch from SLC-41 launch pad over the Mission Space pavilion in Epcot. The launch pad is over 60 miles away. I think it's pretty cool how the flight path follows the pavilion's own arch. Can't wait to capture another launch from Disney.

One of my close friend’s first mission is launching today! He has been working on it for the past two years so it is super exciting to watch it go!

The launch is scheduled for today (1/19) 7:46 pm EDT (23:46 GMT). BROADCAST BEGINS at 7:26 pm EDT (23:26) here. Be on the lookout for my friend Tyler; he will be interviewed before launch. :D

The Atlas V is such a nice-looking rocket. Next launch attempt is tonight.
