Why Rockets Sometimes Launch At Night ππAdded:
Why would anyone launch a rocket in complete darkness? [music] You think daytime would be safer.
However, rockets don't launch when it looks good.
They launch when space lines up. Earth is spinning at over 1,600 [music] km per hour, and satellites need to reach very specific paths in [music] orbit. Miss that timing, and your target could be thousands of kilometers away.
So, the craziest part is this.
>> [music] >> Some rockets launch at night because that tiny launch window might only exist for a few minutes.
