STS-129

   
 

This Mission was to the International Space Station.

    The night before launch was fabulously clear.

 

 

   
   
After several launches I finally got the locations and timing right. I caught the billowy smoke just after ignition.

 

  I was curious how close to the ground the launch would be visible from 14 miles away. Pretty close as it turns out.

 

  They start the roll maneuver right away after lift off.

 

         
     
It was pretty cloudy on launch day.       I always love to see the space boat blast through the white fluffy stuff.
