Liftoff of Orion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2014
- A Delta IV Heavy rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station carrying NASA's Orion spacecraft on an unpiloted flight test to Earth orbit. Liftoff was at 7:05 a.m. EST. During the two-orbit, four-and-a-half hour mission, engineers will evaluate the systems critical to crew safety, the launch abort system, the heat shield and the parachute system.

*So awesome that we're getting back into this game!*
#Orion #OrionFirstFlight #NASA
When the rocket reaches the speed of sound, all the noise from the rocket motor goes away. That's pretty cool.
I missed this due to Ustream playing up at the time :(
Annoying thing is, it was working when they had to postpone on Thursday...
Nice to see the spacecraft on top of the stack where it belongs. Not on the side where it's exposed to the elements. Also nice to see a LAS again.
So cool NASA congrats! Now lets get some crew up there!!
Rock 'n' Roll, watching Orion liftoff was a great way to start this day. Glad to see the next chapter of space exploration begin.
Watched it yesterday morning from the NASA Causeway in Titusville....Absolutely FLAWLESS from launch to splashdown.
NASA NEEDS MORE FUNDING!!!
Made In America Baby and WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I'm so glad it took off so perfectly!!! Great work!
Missed the launch,thankyou for posting and well done all of you.
Seeing Earth from Orion...just wow.
That 60fps is outstanding!
Absolutely amazing!
I got here from a video of a hedgehog getting killed by a tornado...
same
Exhilarating. Such a moment for the USA, NASA and the ULA. Only a few years after retiring the shuttle program.
The best is yet to come ...
I am so exited to see the space program moving forward again. Brings back the thrills of my childhood of the race to the moon! Go Orion! Go!
Breathtaking.
Congrats on a successful launch! Exciting stuff.
Absolutely beautiful...
Every time I see a rocket launch.
UNLIMITED POWER
Good job!
I like the way that the day time sky is black once you have left the atmosphere.
Congrats to the NASA engineers and launch staff on a flawless launch.
Here's to the exploration of space. May we leave no star unturned.
Congrats to you NASA! It is great to see you back. Humans have an enduring nature to explore - and space is ready for us! As a long time space junkie and private pilot, I love the comment about "passing Mach 5"..... giddy up :)
Totally great!
Amazing!
Magnificent!
Beautiful rocket.
AWESOME!
That is what all humanity should strife for... not money! What kind of goal is that...
Thrilling to watch this beast leave Earth.
So very exciting. Congratulations to the entire NASA team for a successful launch!
BRAVO!!!
Hope it safely return to Earth!
This was one of the best launch ever!
And liftoff! Congrats!
Don't underestimate the launch of Orion EFT1 and it's immense importance. This flight carried with it the future of the entire human race and destiny as a spacefaring species. If you have seen the mission live, treasure those hours. Save a newspaper from that day, anything. You'll look back on it and smile, many years from now.
Once we get to Mars... Nothing stands in the way of colonizing the solar system.
The gates have opened, and the long but grand adventure of the ages has begun.
Huzzah for good quality video! And space!
Godspeed.
NICE!
superb video,,
great job TEAM,,,thats team effort there
they did it
cool!
that is a pretty impressive TWR
So glad to see this.
I hope this starts an consistent trend of frequent launches...Which will lead to frequent MANNED launches...
I think it's time for Earth's enlightened to expand their horizons.
Awesome, NASA is back in business! Great Job America.
Kerbal Space Program in a big scale!
I know I can't be the only one who got emotional after watching the lift-off.
Awesome next generation going forward
wow crazy cool to watch
America back in the game. This is awesome for me and will be awesome for my kids. Good stuff.
Супер! Молодцы!!!
Congrats, NASA!
YES!!!
Great job on launch NASA !!!
Little strange not seeing the shuttle but, Orion looks very good (like a movie!) The announcer's speedy speech & voice pitch gets you into the launch! :)
BTW: Does Orion use same fuel as the shuttle did?
Greetings from Russia! Well done!
Another leap forward.
Full screen HD
GOTTA GO FAST!
Che emozione.
Lo stavo guardando in diretta quando esattamente a -15 dal lancio è andato in tilt. Volete manda l' uomo su marte? Mandatecelo ma prima imparate a fare una diretta streaming come si deve
6 people that dislike this video... wtf ?
:) NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. :) :)
Lookin fwd to the day that this baby lands on mars. Congratulations! Nasa!
Does anyone know if the ULA launch commentator is the Steven Agid that wrote a poem dedicated to Challenger back in 1988 and had it published and gave it out to his co-workers at the time at KSC. Unbelievable launch wish I had been there
I would have thought that NASA's goal would have been an SSTO for crewed missions in the future to save costs and minimise the chance of going wrong, although I've always liked multiple stages (just something about watching the boosters detach, it looks pretty cool)
I saw this live when it happened
In glorious 60fps
Danke für das Video, habe es mit Interesse gesehen , Gratulation zum Start und Flug, wünsche gute Landung, nach 2 Erdumrundungen ?
The American Frontier Spirit to explore Deep Space is back for Business with a successful roaring Liftoff test of Orion Spacecraft, Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, United States of America, December 5th, 2014.
Proud to be an American!
One day I want to work at Nasa but I am afraid that my Kerbal space program launch history says otherwise...
where is the full length video ?
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sonic BOOM!
gotta say. very impressive burn. the Saturn V is still the King in my book, but let me watch this a few times more. yikes that's a lot of get up and go.
Great job NASA! So much junk on tv; people devote so much time and energy to garbage, and we have this happening. I'm really excited to see where we go! Keep up the awesome work!👍
it covered the few first kilometers in under a minute
Congratulation people. Let's get into the space age.
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How about a version without the human audio overlay so we can enjoy the sounds of sheer power? Don't get me wrong, I want both versions.
Gotta go fast.
Haha no need to throttle down your core booster, just add asparagus staging and you can optimize your TWR/facilitate quick flight out of the atmospheric soup! :D
God Speed Orion
Why does the video end early?
Noice!
W00t!
Congratulation NASA’s Orion Spacecraft for the successful liftoff !
I hope sooner or later you will bring Humanity to Mars
#OrionMarsEXploration....

I only live 40 miles from the launch site. Did not see a dang thing because of cloud cover. :(
This guy almost sounds like Scoops Callahan
YA AND WOWEEE ZOWIE!!!!
Is it bad that I'm both comparing the trajectory and speed to my ships in Kerbal Space program and hoping I can outdo it with less fuel?
No. (maybe...) everyone wants to beat NASA with a video game.
(started doing something similar myself. 36 body count already, mixed up first stage boosters and final stage decoupling)
Apparently the guys at nasa play ksp a lot so, not at all!
I try every day XD
I would have expected by the mid 21st century we've at least gotten dual stage to orbit vehicles. With a booster stage and shuttle type orbiter both being fully reusable. I can't believe NASA has gone backwards in technology.
GO NASA ! GO USA !
OFF TO MARS !
NICE JOB, BOYS AND GIRLS
Awesome. This is a great day for NASA. But where are all the haters and conspiracy theorists? I thought they said we were technologically unable to do something as cool as this?
How can the rocket be going 1341 fps at 25 seconds. That is 914 mph according to Google converter. But then at 1 min, 31 sec, the narrator says it's going the speed of sound, 767 mph. Did it slow down? Where am I going wrong?
Why does the vehicle roll?
Couple reasons - first, trajectory: it must roll and turn to align with the desired flight profile for the mission. Second, maneuverability/aerodynamics: it's much wider than a single-stick rocket (like Delta IV Medium or Atlas V), so having the three boosters parallel to the earth's surface makes maneuvering easier and reduces dynamic loading during flight. Finally, communications: some of the antennas on the vehicle are line-of-sight and need to be facing down to transmit data to the ground.
Love the launch. If I may, NASA you need to be realistic about the fact that if you are planning sending people to Mars they can't/shouldn't come back. The only way we would do anything in Mars is if we sent pioneers that will stay and die there. Forget about this whole bringing them back. It would only hold us back. Please think about an actual colonization for good. We can just worry about sending them technology and food. Once we master Mars we can think about coming back to earth. For now you need to contemplate the idea that that's not feasible.
Sarebbe una missione suicida, una follia meglio farli tornare sulla Terra.
They MUST come back for both scientific and political reasons. At this stage of the game, colonization is impossible. I can't even begin to comprehend what you mean by the people coming back and "holding us back". How is sending man to Mars and returning him safely less feasible then building a space colony on Mars?
Spring Ong Why? The pioneers that conquered the west didn't try to come back. That's the mindset we should use to conquer the solar system. If we continue acting this cowardly way we will never conquer it.
CamiloSanchez1979 The pioneers of the west could grow food and build homes without regular shipments from Europe.....
The Addiction 2 Neither they sent satellites or stuff to find out first. That's the point, once we are there we will be obligated to be resourceful.
forgive my ignorance, but at about 3:40 in the video, it appears something either hit, or fell off the craft... is that normal? if so, what is it?
Thanks :)
That would be space trash, there's loads of shit up there in orbit around earth
It's ice acumulated during flight thru atmosphere
It's likely ice that continues to shed from the first stage - as the vehicle passes up through humidity and cloud cover it picks up moisture which freezes in the higher atmosphere. If you look closely you can see ice falling throughout the entire CBC burn.
Mate network for lads There is loads of space trash in orbit, but the rocket isn't high up enough yet to hit anything that might be in orbit. Even by the end of the video it's less than 80 miles up, well below orbital height.
you're right, completely forgot about ice!
If Delta IV heavy can lift Orion, so why we need SLS?
i thiught this would be like cygnus
I would've expected NASA to be scientific and use the metric system.
Alien's disliked this video.
