About this work
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Liftoff of NASA's Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, lights up the sky near the NASA Press Site at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch was on time at 4:05 a.m. EDT from Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. RBSP will explore changes in Earth's space environment caused by the sun -- known as "space weather" -- that can disable satellites, create power-grid failures and disrupt GPS service.
