Sunrise + Orion on the pad
T-minus 9 minutes to Orion liftoff, this is the sunrise. LC37 and Orion are to the right. Seen from the roof of the Vehicle Assembly Building.

Orion at 6:46am
This is the Orion atop a DeltaIV Heavy with helicopters circling the pad, just before a range safety violation was called, halting the countdown for the first time.
