2011 Nov 26: Atlas 5 Launch of MSL -- MSL Separation

Forward-looking RocketCam view from the Atlas 5 second stage (Centaur stage) showing spin-up in roll of the entire stack and of MSL separating and starting its 9-month trip to Mars.

2011 Nov 26: Atlas 5 Launch of MSL -- Staging

Forward-looking RocketCam view from the first stage of the Atlas 5 showing the second stage (Centaur stage) separating from the first stage and starting its long burn to accelerate MSL on an Earth-escape trajectory to Mars.

2011 Nov 26: Atals 5 Launch of MSL -- Fairing Sep

Forward-looking RocketCam view from Atlas 5 first stage during its ascent to space of the main payload fairing separating. The fairing is on the second stage (Centaur stage) of the launch system.

2011 Sep 10: Deployment of GRAIL-B Spacecraft from Delta II

Forward-looking RocketCam view of the GRAIL-B spacecraft as it leaves the Delta II upper stage, starting its trip to the Moon. Note that the already-deployed GRAIL-A spacecraft is in the field of view, off in the distance.

2011 Sep 10: Deployment of GRAIL-A Spacecraft from Delta II

Forward-looking RocketCam view of the GRAIL-A spacecraft as it leaves the Delta II upper stage, starting its trip to the Moon.

Ecliptic 'Vision' Video [HQ]

Watch this and you'll get the idea of where Ecliptic plans to take RocketCam. ;-) (No sound...just the silence of space!)

2011 Aug 5: Atlas 5 Juno Launch -- First Stage Forward View [HQ]

Complete RocketCam view looking forward, including payload fairing separation and Centaur-Juno stack separation and departure.

2011 Aug 5: Atlas 5 Launch of Juno to Jupiter -- TV Replay [HD]

This RocketCam view was replayed on NASA TV shortly after the launch. It's RocketCam success #98 of 98. This clip was recorded from a monitor view with a handheld camera, and you'll hear launch team voice dialog as the Atlas 5 continued its ascent to orbit, some background noise in Ecliptic's offices, and will also see some video dropouts and halts. At the brief blue screen, the view is switched from an aft-facing RocketCam to forward-facing view. A cleaner version of this sequence will be available soon and will be posted here. Congrats to the Juno team!

2011 Aug 5: Atlas 5 Juno Launch -- First Stage Aft View [HQ]

Complete RocketCam view on first stage looking aft.

2011 Jul 8: Shuttle Launch STS-135 (Atlantis) -- Starboard SRB [HQ]

Here's the starboard RocketCam view from the final Shuttle launch. (Sequence is edited, with a few min. after initial sep from the orbiter and the final splashdown removed. Not sure why NASA edited it this way...)
