Four astronauts launched on a Space X Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station aboard the Dragon spacecraft named Freedom at 3:52 a.m. on 27 April 2022 from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. This time exposure looking over the Indian River Lagoon is an almost edge on view of their launch to orbit. The short orange line on the horizon just to the left of the arc is the entry burn of the first stage booster heading for a landing on the droneship.
