NASA Launches Aurora Research Rocket into the Northern Lights in Alaska - Real-Time 4K UHD

Watch in 4K UHD as NASA Launches a Rocket into the Northern Lights in Real-Time over Alaska
What a night! What a Rocket! Swenson was amazing to watch!
The Swesnon mission saw off an Auroral Spatial Structures Probe (ASSP) rocket carrying 1 main payload and 6 sub-payloads. The rather large Sounding Rocket put on an amazing display as it left Launch Pad 4 at Poker Flat Research Range and shot straight in the dancing Aurora above. NASA's Wallops Flight Facility lent support as UAF GI launched the final rocket of the year. What an encore!

Thanks Charles! I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this but glad we were able to capture the beauty of your science. :-)

Amazing, I can't imagine what it's like to be there in person and see the depth of the sky. The video looks animated its so surreal.

[@TheAuroraChasers]

Thanks Rob, Sorry for the extreme delay, I wasn't great at keeping up with YT back then.

Awesome video of the northern lights. Another great "I fucking love science" moment. Furthermore it's a really impressive example to show of the low light capabilities of the Sony A7S.
There are thousands of timelapse videos of the Northern Lights out there - but these are based on shutter speeds of several seconds and wouldn't show the movemets of the rockets or the Northern Lights in such a smooth and beautiful way.
Now you have it - I'm jealous ;-)

Thanks Radnai,
Sorry for the extreme delay, I wasn't great at keeping up with YT back then.
Looking forward, I'm awaiting the arrival of my a7S III today and can't wait to experiment with RAW video out there combined with that BSI sensor. :-) Stay tuned to the channel for future vids to come from that camera. :-)

Thanks CCC!

So what was the purpose of the rocket? Were they trying to kill the Aurora?

[@richardhaight6170]

Wish I was there, awesome!

[@TheAuroraChasers]

Next time! ;-)

Oh great, NASA just opened a wormhole. Now the Kree are going to invade Earth.

Maybe this is why 2020 happened? 😂
