On a cloudy, rainy February 19, 2017, #SpaceX launched the #CRS10 mission, carrying a #Dragon capsule of supplies to the International Space Station atop a #Falcon9 rocket. This is the view from a sound activated pad camera, positioned on one of the camera mounds surround Launch Complex 39. As you can tell, the lens was wet, either from dew not dried by the dew heater or from the rain that was falling until just a few minutes before the rocket launched.

This is the #CRS10 #Falcon9 at 1am on February 18, 2017, approximately 9 hours before SpaceX plans on launching the Dragon capsule to resupply the International Space Station. Image is a merge of 8 different frames, creating an ultra-high resolution image (9136 x 8559). Photo by Michael Seeley / We Report Space.

This is the #CRS10 #Falcon9 in the early hours of February 18, 2017, approximately 9 hours before SpaceX plans on launching the Dragon capsule to resupply the International Space Station. The image is a composite of over 400 images taken from 12:42 am to 1:04 am, thus creating the star trails above the pad. 

The launch would later be aborted because of a technical issue. The next launch opportunity is Sunday, Feb 19 at 9:38 am (ET) Specs: ISO800, 2.5 secs and f3.5. Images processed in Lightroom, and then stacked using StarStax, with finals edits done (again) in Lightroom.

SpaceX would successfully land the Falcon9 first stage, and this sequence of photos taken over approximately 6 seconds shows the first stage descending, the legs opening and then the rocket safely descends to SpaceX Landing Zone 1.

So when I said a moment ago that I was done with the gratuitious and excessive edits to my CRS10 images, apparently I was kidding. The response to the raindrops was quite positive, so much so that for this edit, I'm fully embracing the ascetic, taking it in an almost laughable direction. (I can almost hear Jared Haworth groaning when he sees this edit.) Edits done in Lightroom and then Color efex Pro. (Photos by Michael Seeley / We Report Space)

In one last act of CRS10 gratuitous photographic excess, I present 8 seconds in the landing of the #CRS10 #Falcon9 first stage, launched and landed by #SpaceX on February 19, 2017. This sequence of 45 frames begins just after the Falcon9 first stage emerged from the clouds (top left) and ends when the first stage had safely come to a rest on SpaceX Landing Zone-1 (LZ1) approximately 8 seconds after the rocket was visible. Note the deploying of the landing legs, and how close to the ground the rocket is when they deploy. Pictures were taken from the media section of the NASA Causeway, and I estimate we were just over 4.5 miles from LZ1. (Photos by Michael Seeley / We Report Space) —
