Atlas 5 Launch Viewed From Downtown Orlando

Jason Braun, New York

I woke up early, turned on the news, saw there was a rocket launch in 15 minutes, got out of bed, went out on the deck and arrived just in time to witness the successful launch of an Atlas V rocket from the Cape. That pin dot at the bottom is the rocket punching through Earth's atmosphere just before it vanished into outer space.

Number Two Hundred

Jin Nakashima, Ardmore, Oklahoma

The MUOS 3 spacecraft carried by the Atlas V rocket was the 200th Atlas-Centaur launch. It was lighting up a January night sky at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

We received 293 entries and 637 individual photos for the 23rd Annual Aviation Week Photo Contest. Entries came from all 50 U.S. states and 14 other countries, representing every continent except Antarctica. Space is the most difficult category for drawing entries because access is limited and there are fewer events that provide photo opportunities.
