Photos: Delta 4 launches on secret NROL-45 mission

Watch views of the Falcon 9 rocket’s fiery liftoff Monday at Cape Canaveral from multiple angles as the slender, kerosene-fueled launcher climbed into space on the way to the International Space Station.

Watch a replay of the launch of an Atlas 5 rocket carrying the $1.2 billion SBIRS GEO Flight 4 satellite into orbit.

The Falcon 9 booster that dramatically flew back to Earth last month following a commercial satellite launch ignited again Friday in a hold-down test at SpaceX’s Cape Canaveral launch pad, days before the company is due to launch its next mission from California, officials said.
