On Thursday, NASA launched a new communication satellite to stay in touch with its space station astronauts and relay more Hubble telescope images.
In fact, an unmanned Atlas V rocket blasted into the starry night sky carrying the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite which is the 11th TDRS satellite to be launched by NASA.
To say more, the space agency uses the orbiting network to communicate with astronauts living on the International Space Station. NASA estimates the satellite costs between $ 350 million and $ 400 million.
