The rocket, carrying NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System, launched at a predetermined drop point 39,000 feet above the Atlantic Ocean and about 110 nautical miles east-northeast of Daytona Beach. The 1st ROPS spacelift and range operations professionals at CCAFS work as a team to ensure mission success of spacelift, ballistic, and aeronautical test missions on the Air Force's Eastern Range.
