An experiment-carrying, reusable mini space shuttle operated by the U.S. Air Force will be boosted into Earth orbit Wednesday atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket.

Check out a replay of Monday evening’s launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this video recorded from the Launch Complex 39 Press Site around three miles from the pad.

Members of the news media — reporters and photographers — witnessed the United Launch Alliance Delta 4-Heavy rocket lifted off from the ITL Causeway on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, about 1.7 miles from the pad.
