United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket carrying 27 satellites for the Amazon Project Kuiper broadband constellation. Rocket launched at 8:09 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 25 from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.


"Wow!" "Wicked cool!!!" "Unbelievable shot!" "Lovely!!!"

Those were just some of the comments in response to FLORIDA TODAY photographer Malcolm Denemark's breathtaking photograph of the Thursday, Sept 25, United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch.

"I shot the ULA Atlas launch from the Beachline on the Banana River, a good location with a clear view of the rocket and launch pad," Denemark said.

The rocket, carrying 27 satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper broadband constellation, launched at 8:09 a.m. from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station

"The Banana River was like glass, and there was haze, making the sky and the river the same color, giving the photo an eerie infinity look," Denemark said.
