CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida -- The Atlas V
401 rocket with its secretive National Reconnaissance Office
(NROL-38) lifted off at 8:28 a.m. today from Space
Launch Complex 41 at the Cape
Canaveral Air Force station in Florida.
The mission is the second of
four planned launches by United Launch Alliance for the National
Reconnaissance Office.
Low-lying clouds kept many spectators across the Space Coast from viewing the launch this morning.
