TACSAT2 Launch From Wallops Island, 12/2006
On the morning of 12/16/2006, the Air Force launched their TACSAT2 satellite into orbit from the spaceport at Wallop Island, Virginia using a modified Minute Man ICBM. This image is a snap shot from my back porch in Bowie, Maryland, taken about 3 minutes after the launch. The crescent moon is in the upper right. Easily seen is the trail from the rocket's boosters. Above the trail, as a small point at the tip of a fan shaped white cloud is the booster.
