Posted: April 7, 2001


A video camera mounted on a support strut of the Boeing Delta 2 rocket's second stage and pointed up shows small thrusters firing to spin up the third stage and attached Mars Odyssey. The third stage then separates from the second stage. The video signal dropped out just moments before the third stage ignited. Source video: NASA TV (440k, 28sec QuickTime file).
