Minotaur Rocket Launch


On May 19, 2009 at 7:55 PM a 4 stage Air Force Minotaur I rocket carrying the Air Force Research Laboratory’s TacSat-3 satellite was launched from Wallops Island, Virginia. I and 3 friends watched from East Point, NJ as the rocket could be seen over the Delaware Bay. The view in binoculars was outstanding!

This is a photo I took with Nikon Coolpix 4500 camera as the rocket blasted off into space. Click on the image for a larger view.
