About this work
Sunset colors the horizon to the east as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket climbs away from Space Launch Complex 40 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. On board is NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory spacecraft, or DSCOVR. Liftoff occurred at 6:03 p.m. EST. DSCOVR is a partnership between NOAA, NASA and the U.S. Air Force, and will maintain the nation's real-time solar wind monitoring capabilities.
