Liftoff from Windsor
That's the moon, so we're looking approximately 230 degrees towards
southwestern Colorado. Altitude unknown, maybe around 50K. Wings still stowed
prior to deployment.
Approximately 95K feet, wing inflation underway
Approximately 96K feet, wing 95% or more inflated. The moon is again visible.
Note its difference in height above the visible atmosphere from the photo
above. An examination of this photos is posted HERE
since the moon gives us a recognizable landmark to work with.
Descent to touchdown. Those are the Tracking and Recovery teams on the road
