This Delta launch took place on the 5th November 1998 at 5.37am. The launch window was only 5 seconds so we didn't have to wait long! The window was so short because it was a satellite that was being inserted into an already existing constellation, this means that its position within the constellation has to be very precise.

This was taken about 30 mins after the launch
just as the sun was begining to rise.
