Earth’s orbit — This is a different view of Monday’s launch of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket.
The huge rocket’s heat signature was captured by a plantet observation satellite as it headed to orbit.
The infrared photos were taken by the NOAA GOES-East weather satellite which orbits Earth at an altitude of 22,300 miles.
Thanks to GOES East we have a glimpse of what the Falcon Heavy launch, which was carrying the COSMIC-2 mission, looked like from 22,300 miles in space. How cool is that? More imagery: go.usa.gov/xyCGk

The STP-2 mission, called the toughest ever by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, successfully delivered 24 more sateliites into orbit.
