Falcon 9 Launch, March 1, 2015



The SpaceX Falcon 9 was launched at 10:50 p.m. on March 1.
On board is the Eutelsat 115 (Satmex 7) and ABS 3A satellites from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40). 

I'm fortunate to watch many launches from my front porch.
On a night launch you can follow the flame for a few minutes before it disappears.
This one looked like it was pulsing. Brighter then dimmer every few seconds.

  1. I was surprised to see a shuttle launch from my front yard in Oviedo when I lived there about 8 or 9 years ago. It was very impressive even at that distance, and I wish I'd had a video camera.
