United Launch Alliance // Delta IV Heavy NROL-68 Launch

As I proudly marked my 50th rocket launch, the allure of the Delta IV Heavy rocket remained as captivating as ever. Several years working as a video editor allow me to keep the end product in mind throughout the duration of each project. This ensures that when it's time for post-production, I have all the components necessary to weave together a unique and compelling story that captures the essence of the journey. About a month before the launch, I began gathering the elements needed to execute this mission. I meticulously collected video and photo assets that narrate the unfolding of events from the lead-up to launch through the subsequent flight.
