View from MTO of the launch of a Minotaur rocket lifting off from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Island on the Virginia coast. The rocket was carrying the Air Force Research Laboratory’s TacSat-3 satellite. The launch was covered live from MTO via a live streaming webcast video. The above image was processed using an unsharp mask to increase the contrast of the rocket contrail.
