NASA's TDRS-M satellite arrives inside its shipping container at Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, Florida. The spacecraft will be transported to the nearby Astrotech facility, also in Titusville, for preflight processing. The TDRS-M is the latest spacecraft destined for the agency's constellation of communications satellites that allows nearly continuous contact with orbiting spacecraft ranging from the International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope to the array of scientific observatories. Liftoff atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket is scheduled to take place from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 9:02 a.m. EDT Aug. 3, 2017.

@NASAGoddard : RT @ulalaunch: The view from the top. #AtlasV with @NASA_TDRS as it prepares to roll to the pad. #TDRSM t.co/FyIoQPMwwh (via Twitter twitter.com/NASAGoddard/status/897919932167532544)
Morning rocket launches require arriving at Kennedy Space Center at the crack of dawn. For the #TDRSM launch, we met at the Press Site at 6 am, and on our way to load the bus that would take the media to our respective viewing locations, we were treated to a fantastic sunrise, complete with my newly learned phenomena, anti-crepuscular rays.
Legend:
Top left: 6:42 am, 12 minutes before sunrise, with crepuscular rays in the sky. Note the Press Site flag, the countdown clock and special guest: the crescent Moon.
Top right: 6:48 am, looking over the turn basin.
Bottom: This is at 6:52 am, as the sun is about to pop over the horizon, behind me. This photo is looking directly opposite the sunrise, from the parking lot (I stepped off the bus to quickly snap this picture). Visible in the sky are rays, converging at a point on the horizon directly opposite the sunrise. Also, this is a three frame panorama so that I could get the magnificent Vehicle Assembly Building in the frame.

After delaying the launch into the 40-minute launch window, United Launch Alliance successfully launched the #TDRS-M satellite atop an #AtlasV rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 8:29 am (ET) on August 18, 2017.
This is a long-exposure of the rocket as it lifts off the pad. Specs: 13-second exposure, f14 at ISO100, shot through a 10-stop ND filter.
