Watch the Falcon 9 launch from pad 39A

This up-close sequence of photos shows the Falcon Heavy rocket lifting off from pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida with nearly 5 million pounds of ground-shaking thrust.

The mission broke another record for SpaceX, marking the first time the company has achieved 14 launches in a single month. Liftoff happened Friday at 10:37 p.m. EDT (0237 UTC on Saturday).

Northrop Grumman is gearing up for up to four launches this year at Wallops Island, Virginia, including two launches with Cygnus cargo ships heading to the International Space Station, and a pair of Minotaur rocket flights carrying classified payloads into orbit for the U.S. government’s spy satellite agency.
