And we have LIFTOFF!!

On it's way to the Assembly Building two weeks ago

 So here's a few more pictures.  To the left we have the fairing, with RBSP inside, making its way to the Vehicle Integration Facility

Below we have the Rocket on the pad last night at sunset, August 29, 2012.  Beautiful, huh?

Sunset at the Cape

And here we have the best part.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On time and everything!  4:05 AM I was sitting at my dining room table, watching the picture on my laptop (www.spaceflightnow.com if you want to see the replay).  My cat was outside.  I was so excited when we actually launched on time!!!!!  Now, of course, it's time for the real work to begin :)

 

 

Liftoff!
