- An Atlas V rocket lifts off at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 41.The mission is to send the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN, spacecraft on a 10-month journey to explore the Red Planet's climate history.

From India.. Waiting for more news about mars. Best of luck!
I was at the Causeway watching the liftoff! My father was one of the lead researchers of SWEA (Solar Wind Electron Analyzer), one of MAVEN's instruments. Pretty amazing!!! Hope everything goes perfectly.
Fantastic
The Martians are waiting :)
I cannot watch this - its over 60 seconds long ....sigh!
Good luck MAVEN!! Here's to a brighter future and understanding of Mars!
Congrats to all scientists involved in making MAVEN launch a great feet for humans to explore the red planet.
This is so great on a Dolby Surround 7.5 Sound System.
KRRRAAAAAAwwwwwushhhh- roohrBangBangroohrBangBang...
Great launch of an AtlasV, have nice journey Maven.
Everyone in CAD class had this going live instead of doing work. It was pretty awesome!
Space travel is just as exciting to me now as it was when I was 14!!!!
It still amazes me how we are able to send spacecrafts from our spinning planet to other planets!!! The only negative aspect is that 10 month period from launch to the orbit insertion. The rest is pure beauty and makes us all dream. Congratulations!
At school today, our teachers in the grade, had all of the kids together.. in one classroom and watch it liveoff live.. i was like yay but i was like aww 10 months you got of be kidding me xD
When I was a kid my father made a point of getting all us kids up at dawn to watch the launch of the Gemini lift-offs. OH MAN were they exciting!!! Still love all space adventures.
Both USA’s maven & India’s Mangalyaan(MarsOrbitorMission) are currently orbiting mars...
I never get tired of watching rockets take off, but I wish I could just see the shuttle take off live one more time.
I can't wait till MAVEN gets to mars!
Great NASA!!! It would be very useful to use metric units. Thank you. The Planetary Society Argentina.
Pretty exciting stuff!!!!!!!
WOW! There is no smoke-trail like in before shuttle launches, this must be a some kind of new technology rocket propulsion systems. Awesome, Go Maven!
AWESOME! I am glad to see it made it to outer space. It has a long 10 month journey!
I didnt get to watch it live but thank goodness they have it on here!
i love watching rockets go to other planets (:
Good luck MAVEN!!! :)
Wow!! Go Maven!!
GO MAVEN YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!
excelente video ...
Go MAVEN!
+BasedShaman there is nothing better than hardcore ass fucking raw
Thank you to all of NASA for your efforts. we DO notice, and we DO appreciate it.
Congratulations and godspeed MAVEN!
Awesome! Dissapointed I couldn't watch live, though.
That is so cool!
I love this.
I was there live viewing it! Man it was awesome!
godspeed maven! Say Hi to curiosity for us!
Es fAntastico
beautiful.
Too bad I couldn't catch the livestream. However I was counting down until the launch with my alarm on my phone.
Amazing!!!!
MAVAN is a super rocket .I hope this is a new power on mars project history
Pretty damn cool :)
beautiful
"Let us be buddies" - ISRO Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft in Earth orbit.
Amazing lift off...
Awe inspiring :)
awesome stuff! looks like it went off without a hitch.
How do they keep it so straight? I see nothing to create drag to keep it straight when launching vertically.
A system called SAS manueveres the thrusters a bit to keep it pointing straight
In the future, does anyone know where I can see live NASA launches without advertisements popping up continually? I watched this launch live at IScienceTimes (International Science Times) but they had ads popping up every few minutes that was extremely annoying. I just want to watch live launches in High Definition without ads. IScienceTimes for some reason put ads on their site and they could not be stopped without video and audio running every few minutes.
Damn i can't see it from ustream in live no conexion work
good luck MAVEN see you in nine months on Mars
God speed MAVEN
MAVEEEEEEEEEEEN
I saw this at school
Turn right at the third cloud then a quick left when you hit space.
Hell yeah! USA NUMBER 1
Mars will be more crowded :)
Come on guys, I want to hear the word "NOMINAL" about every 5 seconds!!! Don't let SpaceX beat you!
3, 2, 1 "Make rocket go now"
Well, this could explain why there is an coma around the Mars after the ISON passed nearby.
i cant stop reading this as the liftoff of DRAVEN... o_o
i saw the video on ur website
live
What does MAVEN stand for?
Go Photon!
it looks like its taking its sweet time at takeoff. Almost like it couldn't really pull its weight
Just wondering if some one can answer me this: Why did the Ascent Commentator say the Rocket was travelling at 1,000 mph yet moments before it reaches over 2,000 he says it is passing through the sound barrier, but isn't the Speed of sound in mph 768mph? that would means it already passed it ages ago @1:02 which is before @1:27 which is when he says it is passing through the sound barrier.
At sea level yes. - Depends on the air pressure. Not much air at that altitude.
Wow!!! There goes our money...to Mars. Lol! ;) (I wish I was there!) Sigh!
cool! it's a shame, but nobody im my school knows about the liftoff :(
That's one high quality rocket, good job guys
What does it mean when they "go into max Q"? Anyways, great launch, exited for the whole mission!
I think its "mac 2" meaning twice the speed of sound.
Max Q refers to the moment when the aerodynamic stress on the rocket is at its greatest. It builds as the rocket accelerates through the lowest part of the atmosphere and then goes down as the air thins out at higher altitude.
+sillassieI no its Max Q
does anybody know what Max-Q is???
Max aerodynamic pressure
We already know that the mass of Mars is about 10% of Earth's. This is why its atmosphere bubbled away. So what is this mission supposed to achieve?
The atmosphere was striped away by solar wind due to the lack of a protective magnetic field and volcanic activity. The purpose of the mission is to try and figure out what it was like before this happened. I agree that it is perhaps a misuse of money in the current economic climate but the mission goals are quite clearly stated so I cannot moan at them
What's Max-Q?
thats where a rocket breaks the soundbarrier
My rockets in Kerbal Space Program get off of the pad much faster than that.
Here's hoping they find aliens!
Oooooo ghot
When does this reach mars
Ok
Ryan Pierce reach now
lolz kerbal space program :D
Done in a movie studio. Conspiracy.
I saw it .busted
Wait... so, that wasn't Kerbal Space Program?
why dont we make plasma engines for rockets
oh wait we have but wasting fossil fuels is better. :(
Billions of people starving to death on this planet and we are spending billions on some red rock in space.. Sad...
Oh well then you better get to work
why not just send some people there, rather than pissing about with satalites ?
Because once you leave the magnetic field protecting Earth, everything living will die eventually from the radiation and rays from the Sun. Mars also does not have a magnetic field like Earth's. Currently, if a human or anything else living leaves this field they will die, eventually. NASA needs to develop a technology to protect humans against this immense radiation. Unless you know of the technology or someone who does then they will continue to be "pissing about with satellites".
Joseph Burfield sure i can knock together a lead suit of armor and some scuba gear lol damn id volonteer to go, first man to step on and die on mars..
atlas V uses a rd-180 engine designed and build in russia. Uses a staged combustion cycle with an oxygen-rich preburner, witch was believed to be impossible by us engineers. More or less the same design as the famous NK-33
Sad that us has to hitch hike ride from russia to the IST and uses rocked engines built in russia since it is better than us designs.
***** You have two left lobes, right?
First stage is Russian, second stage is American.
Americans buying Russian rockets = more potatoes and Vodka for a unstable and weak country.
Daniel Waycaster And what country you say is unstable?
waste of fuel
