After a smooth countdown and climb toward space, NASA's IBEX spacecraft is in orbit.

This is the beginning of NASA's two-year IBEX mission to study the interactions of hot solar wind colliding with the cold vastness of space, mapping the boundaries of our solar system.

  • @theArquebusier Orbital has currently the only operational air-launch space launch vehicle. The Pegasus and Pegasus XL combined have one of the best, if not the best, records of any current launch vehicle.

  • I didn't even know we did that! I thought it was all ground to space..
