The Launch of Juno

The first video is an "official" video, compiled from several different camera angles and including, toward the end, some animation sequences showing events in the launch sequence that could not be captured with cameras. The second video is a compilation of a number of launch videos from various cameras both on the ground and on board the rocket.

NASA's Juno spacecraft is on its way to Jupiter after being launched aboard an Atlas V rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida on August 5 at 11:25 a.m. Eastern. The solar-powered spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in July 2016 and orbit its poles 33 times to find out more about the gas giant's interior, atmosphere and aurora. Scientists believe Jupiter holds the key to better understanding the origins of our solar system.
