[Juno] Launch of Juno on Atlas V (551) Rocket!

The Juno Spacecraft is now heading for Jupiter after sucessfully launching on an Atlas V (551) rocket from Cape Canaveral.

After around 30 minutes Centaur was fired again, You can see that portion of the flight here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLDm7RHnln4

The launch was delayed several times due to a leak in the ground support equipment, then again due to a boat in the range.

Lift off was at 16:26 UTC. The Spacecraft is due to arrive at Jupiter in July 2016.

I hate it when they switch to a computer simulation.
