Below is their account of the launch. Around 12:45 a.m., Jan- uary 18, 2014, we left Ot- well for Florida's Kennedy Space Port to witness and photograph the launch of the TRDS -L data relay sat- ellite. Once we acquired our Press Site security badging, we entered the press room and noticed several sign-up sheets of paper for differ- ent vantage points to photo- graph the launch. Marcie signed the sheet to go on top of the LCC (mission control) to video the launch. Mark signed the sheet to photograph the launch from on top of the VAB (vehicle assembly building). Mission control is about 65 feet tall. The VAB is 425 ft. tall, with an inside volume of 52 acres, one of the tallest single story build- ings in the world. The day before the launch, escorts bussed us out to witness the rollout of the TDSR-L rock- et from the gantry to the launchpad. This took about 45 min- utes, from which we were about half-mile away. After it reached the launchpad, we loaded up again on the bus and were taken to the launchpad itself for some up close photo shots of the At- las V. The launchpad owned by the USAF has their own security scrutiny as well, so we sat in the bus about 20 minutes waiting for clear- ance to go within the gates. Once we got out of the bus, we were about 200 ft from the Atlas V. The night of the sched- uled launch, there was a de- lay in the original launch time of 9:05 p.m., January 23. Once the announcement was made, both of us were apprehensive once again that the mission would be scrubbed until a later date. We had been to the last shut- tle Endeavour launch in which it was scrubbed and we had to return home be- cause our vacation time was over. But this time luck was on our side, as well as NA- SA's, the problem was fixed and the Atlas V launched at 9:33 p.m. The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System is NA- SA's network of specialized communications satellites that orbit 22,300 miles above the earth. As the name sug- gests, the satellites relay sig- nals between spacecraft, in- cluding the International Space Station and ground control stations on earth. The spacecrafts are a vast improvement over the string of ground stations that were used in the past to commu- nicate with spacecraft for short periods of time as they passed over or near the sta- tions. With the TDRS space- craft in place, spacecraft, including Earth-observing missions and NASA's Hub- ble Space Telescope, have near-constant communica- tion links to Earth. This payload on top of an Atlas V rocket is the newest in a fleet of satellites first launched in 1983. Of the 11 TDRS spacecraft placed in service to date, eight still are operational. Four of the eight have exceeded their design life. TDRS also will support the first test of NA- SA's new deep space space- craft, the Orion crew mod- ule, in September. This test will see Orion travel farther into space than any human spacecraft has gone in more than 40 years.
