I like how the upper stage wags its tail a bit as it's corrected by the thrusters.

That was probably the most visually stunning ELV launch I've ever seen from the West Coast, saw it all the way to Stage separation. Kudos to another job well done Delta.

Hmmm...It would be even better if it WERE from the West Coast...

A rebump of William's informative article for this launch:

Great article - I really like the detective work that goes into figuring out what the payloads are.
The information is there if you know where to look. The NRO have fewer secrets than they would have most people believe. Most of the effort that goes into keeping the mission details classified is in vain.

After the launch of USA-67, two more molniya-orbit satellites were launched; Space Shuttle Discovery launched USA-87 in December 1992 during the STS-53 mission, and USA-125 was launched by a Titan IV(405)B in July 1996. The second generation satellites are believed to have been based on either the HS-381 or HS-389 bus.
Wayne Hale talked about
STS-53 today.
Great launch, and great article too.

Hey Jim, nice photo, but you better tell your neighbours they've all left their car lights on
(Love the red truck thing! Want one of those beasts!)
