Into the clear night sky, a National Reconnaissance
Office payload was successfully launched aboard
a Titan IV-B rocket from Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla.
on Apr. 29 at 8:50p.m. EDT.
After nearly 50 years of launches, this was the
168th and last of the Titan rocket family to be
launched from the East Coast.
"The entire launch team was exceptional,
as always. It was a picture-perfect ending
to the great Titan era," said Col Chip
Zakrzewski, mission director for the launch
and the director of the Office of Space
Launch.
