  • Farewell, Delta II rocket

    Farewell, Delta II

    What a workhorse, and still launched by an 'ugly bag of mostly water' pressing a console button.

    There's one more in storage, currently spare parts for this mission but likely headed for a museum after the ICESat-2 launch.

    NASA's ICESat-2; observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice freeboard, and vegetation canopy height.

    Saturday Sept. 15

    SLC-2W, Vandenberg Air Force Base
