where is this taking off please?
It is taking off in some atoll..
Kwajalein Atoll
Marshall Islands
On the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site.
The Launch was from Omeleck Island on the Kwajalein Atoll.
2100 miles SW of Hawaii, in the Marshall Islands. I was here working on the launch, and it was perfect. Soon as it came around the earth, TM picked up the signal, so the payload is in orbit.
Very exciting and highly successful.
