Atlas V 401 DMSP F-19



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 



On 3 April 2014, an Atlas V rocket flying in the 401 configuration successfully launched the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-19 payload into polar orbit from SLC-3E at Vandenberg Air Force Base. It appeared marine layer would be an issue for photography, as a wispy fog bank moved in about 10 minutes before T-0, but it hung low enough to just obscure liftoff. Still, these photos are proof that Vandenberg's famous marine layer really does hate me. Anyway, hope everbody enjoys the photos!
