Here’s a cool slow motion video shot from my favorite, personal, super secret, launch viewing hideout. Just don’t tell Pad Safety. I’m not sure they’d approve of me sneaking up here... #AtlasV #SBIRSGEO5 #SBIRS pic.twitter.com/gj1YRFyftu

Yes, there’s a rocket there. (5/18/2021) SIRS GEO-5 #SBIRSGEO5 #SBIRS #ULA #AtlasV : @the_space_nutpic.twitter.com/d5OJVnzZt0

#AtlasV 421 makes for a pretty dynamic situation at #SLC41! #SBIRSGEO5 #SBIRS #ULA : Me for @space_exploredpic.twitter.com/7Bmk3fORX4

A visually stunning launch on May 18 of @ulalaunch #AtlasV. Another shot from one of my remote cameras ... : @theresacross_ @SpaceflightIns @torybruno #AtlasV #SBIRS #SBIRSGEO5pic.twitter.com/R3Ns9rxO8R

Mission success — our #SBIRS GEO-5 satellite for the @SpaceForceDoD is climbing to orbit under its own power.pic.twitter.com/Nha4Yw4qth

Achievement Unlocked! Depicted are some frames from my first ever pad engine shot attempt! @ULA and @SpaceForceDoD successfully launched #SBIRS GEO-5 aboard the majestic #AtlasV in the 421 configuration into Geosynchronous Orbit, high above the Earth! by me / for @nsspic.twitter.com/gTYFTfxFQr

Yay! My #NROL82 & #SBIRS patches and coins just arrived and let me tell you… these pictures don’t do them justice pic.twitter.com/PWVglTB7Tt

Go #SBIRS! This was an amazing launch that takes the cake as my favorite launch yet for many reasons! A lot of firsts, and it was just plain gorgeous! Lots of amazing photos all around and was overall an amazing mission for all involved! #SBIRSGEO5 #ULA #AtlasVpic.twitter.com/QuCsWHrJVk

The last step of fueling has started. This will place about 12,300 gallons of liquid hydrogen fuel into the energetic Centaur upper stage to deliver #SBIRS GEO-5 to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Still targeting 1:31pmEDT (1731 UTC) for liftoff. pic.twitter.com/XKWTusJjkE

Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) as seen from the perspective of an observer standing on the rotating Earth The inertial GTO is an ellipse around the Earth - but since the Earth rotates faster than the orbit does, this apparent curve arises! #SBIRSGEO5 #SBIRS #ULA #AtlasVpic.twitter.com/ZABql4u4g2

Gaseous nitrogen has begun flowing into #AtlasV and the #SBIRS GEO-5 payload fairing to properly condition rocket compartments for today's fueling and flight. pic.twitter.com/9tEQvRzbIT

A truly beautiful launch — the #SBIRS satellite takes to the sky aboard an #AtlasV rocket on May 18.pic.twitter.com/9KXjqUX2TS

This Atlas V will launch the fifth Space Based Infrared System Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (#SBIRS GEO-5). The satellites provide continuous global surveillance to detect missile launches and provide early warning for the Unites States and our allies. pic.twitter.com/hUEG4QP7oq

Hey space Twitter. I’m in search of the embroidered mission patch for #SBIRS-GEO 5. If you have an extra or know someone that does hit me up. Will pay good $$$ and/or trade other mission patches (GOES, TRDS, MARS 2020). Thanks. #AtlasV #USSFpic.twitter.com/IpKg1kBNZH

.@SpaceForceDoD has declared our fifth #SBIRS satellite complete and ready for 2021 launch. SBIRS GEO-5 is our first military satellite to use the new and improved LM2100 bus, driving greater resiliency, efficiency and record production speed. https://news.lockheedmartin.com/SBIRS_GEO_5_Completed …pic.twitter.com/rX6nfQIbEm
