Rockin’ With the Juno Launch

Here’s a fantastic look at launch day for the Juno spacecraft, now on its way to Jupiter. It’s hard not to get pumped up for the mission after watching the Atlas V rocket blast into space, sending Juno on its journey. This video is courtesy the United Launch Alliance (ULA). Universe Today will have more original videos from launch day soon from our team of photographers and videographers who were on hand at Kennedy Space Center.
