Nesaru soared into the sky on mission NLS-005, and boy did she look pretty!

This launch is probably the most photographically documented one of any of my launches as my brother Peter came by with his still shot camera, and got lots of pictures to go along with the launch video both from the ground and from the on-board camera.

Altitude was a little over 1400 feet on a CTI H135.

Here is one of the stills from the launch.

Liftoff! This shot captures Nesaru as she clears the launch rail.   Photo: Peter A. Fields

 

More details to come in a day or so as I crunch through all the data, and photography…
