ULA ROCKET LAUNCHES

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta II rocket carrying launch NASA’s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission lifts off from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, on Sept. 15, 2018. ICESat-2 is the 155th and final launch of the Delta II rocket. From its origin as the launch vehicle for the first Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to NASA’s Earth observing, science and interplanetary satellites including Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity to vital commercial communication and imaging satellites, the Delta II rocket has truly earned its place in space history.

Watch and discuss live as the United Launch Alliance's Delta II rocket launches for the final time from SLC-2W at Vandenberg Air Force Base with NASA's ICESat-2 spacecraft. Liftoff is targeting 12:46 UTC (8:46 AM EDT) on Saturday, 15 September. If all goes as planned, this will be the 100th consecutive successful Delta II flight and 156th flight overall since 1989. This Delta II is flying in the 7420-10 configuration, with four GEM-40 solid rocket motors and a 3-meter diameter composite payload fairing. United Launch Alliance will use the final Delta II rocket to launch the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) for NASA to measure the thickness of Earth’s polar ice sheets. The satellite’s primary instrument will pulse its laser at Earth 10,000 times a second and precisely measure the time it takes the beams to bounce off the ground and return to ICESat-2 to deduce the elevation below within the accuracy of 4 millimeters. The satellite advances the capabilities of its predecessor, ICESat-1, launched by a Delta II rocket and operated from 2003 to 2009. ************************************************************** Donate to our 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization here: Donorbox: https://donorbox.org/olhzn Paypal Charity: https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 Amazon Smile: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 ************************************************************** Learn more about our weather balloon flights, data & videos at: http://overlookhorizon.com To learn more about our Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other onboard technology and data sensors; visit http://overlookhorizon.com OUR FLIGHT SYSTEMS: Styrofoam Cooler: http://amzn.to/2pLYNkz Arduino MEGA: http://amzn.to/2pMh3KC Lightdow LD4000 Action Camera: http://amzn.to/2qFlsNu Rocketman Parachute: http://amzn.to/2pecXrx Adafruit PowerBoost: http://amzn.to/2q4v2fL uBlox Neo 6M GPS: http://amzn.to/2pMfUm1 DS18b20 Temperature Sensor: http://amzn.to/2qK4goZ Data Logging Shield: http://amzn.to/2pengvC BMP180 Pressure Sensor: http://amzn.to/2pLcSMW Piezo Speaker Alarm: http://amzn.to/2q4AEXb Orbtronics 18650 Lithium Ion Batteries: http://amzn.to/2pLD4XW Radar Reflector: http://amzn.to/2fmY7il Please Donate!
