NASA Delta II Rocket Stage One to Stage Two Transition
NASA Delta II Rocket Stage One to Stage Two Transition
I uploaded a sequence of photos to an album on G+ and This animation was automatically created, showing the following phase in the launch:
- T+plus 4 minutes, 39 seconds. MECO. The first stage main engine cutoff is confirmed and the spent stage has been jettisoned.
- T+plus 4 minutes, 44 seconds. The Delta's second stage has ignited! The engine is up and running.
- T+plus 4 minutes, 51 seconds. The rocket's nose cone enclosing the satellite payload has been jettisoned.
The full album of photos of the launch from two cameras is on G+ here: https://plus.google.com/photos/+JeffreySullivan/albums/6034450980809636577
I've also associated the photos with the launch sequence in a blog post here:
