This is a remote view of the static test firing of the SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage on the launch pad March 13, 2010. The 9 rocket engines ignited at 12:30 p.m. EST and burned for for 3.5 seconds. This was a dress rehearsal for the first launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket with a mockup of the Dragon space capsule from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff of Falcon 9 is targeted for April 12, 2010 during a launch window from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. EDT.
There is no sound on this Air Force remote camera view. The video is very shaky because the camera is mounted high in the air and it was a very windy day.
