Twice the launches, twice the fun! Two sounding rockets launched from Poker Flat Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska this week. Yesterday's rocket carried @NASA's DISSIPATION mission into an aurora to study understand how auroras heat the atmosphere and cause high-altitude winds.

A long-exposure photograph of a sounding rocket launching into a night sky highlighted by aurora. The sounding rocket is a bright white streak, leaving from a snow-covered ground and moving from bottom left to upper right. A small break in the streak represents the first stage of the rocket burning out and the second stage igniting. A soft, green aurora frames the edges of the image, with many white stars speckled through the black sky. A bright green line toward the top of the frame is a lidar beam. A fisheye lens was used for the photograph, creating a curve for the ground and lidar beam.

The sounding rocket is a bright white streak, leaving from a snow-covered ground and moving from bottom left to upper right. The ground is snow covered in the bottom of the frame with and at the right of the frame is a photographer setting up two camera tripods.
