Delta dawn

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- A Delta II rocket lites up the early morning sky over Cape Canaveral Air Force Station here as it carries the Phoenix spacecraft on the first leg of its journey to Mars. The 920th Rescue Wing sent helicopters downrange to ensure no boats were in the launch path, as they do before every Space Shuttle and rocket launch. (Courtesy photo/NASA)
