SpaceX Falcon Heavy Launch Shocked NASA ASTRONAUTS and Scientists! Elon Reacts
At the right time in the right place, January 15th Falcon Heavy launch was already one of SpaceX’s most spectacular yet, shocked NASA astronauts and Scientists.
Why it can make this?
How did Elon Musk react to this launch?
Find out everything about this in today’s episode of Alpha Tech:
Photographers on the ground captured great shots of the latest launch of SpaceX’s most powerful rocket. One off-Earth observer did as well — the International Space Station (ISS), which happened to be in the right place at the right time on that day.
“An external high-definition camera on the International Space Station captured the launch plume of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket after it had ascended to Earth orbit following its liftoff on Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023, from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida,” NASA officials wrote in a description of the photo.
“The space station was flying 262 miles [422 kilometers] above the Atlantic Ocean just after an orbital sunset at the time of this photograph,” they added.
It’s not the first time a rocket launch has produced a show for the astronauts (or, at least, cameras) who live aboard the ISS. But it is the first time the rare launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket was spotted from orbit. Similar in concept to the contrails produced by aircraft at high altitudes, Falcon Heavy produced a giant exhaust plume as it climbed out of Earth’s atmosphere, and that exhaust – containing a small amount of water vapor – created artificial clouds.
