Written by Last week there were two attempts to launch the Atlas 5 rocket carrying MUOS-1 US Navy communications satellite from LC-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Both launches were scrubbed due to adverse weather.
Our video is a time lapse of both launch day windows showing the beautiful sunset on the first day and the appalling conditions on the second. If it had not been for the upper level winds the first launch day would have been perfect with the launch occurring just as the sun was setting. The second day really shows how bad the conditions were on the launch pad and why the rocket could not be launched.
The video was taken using a GoPro Hero (original) set to 720p60 recording the two 45 minute launch windows. The footage was then compressed in post processing resulting in this one minute video.
