About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — The 19-stories-tall Atlas V launch vehicle leaps above the trees near Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, propelling the two-ton Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) into a clear blue Florida sky and eventual orbit around Mars. Liftoff was at 7:43 a.m. EDT. All systems performed nominally for NASA's first launch of an Atlas V on an interplanetary mission.
