Both of NASA's twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes are on their own in Earth orbit after a successful liftoff and ascent this morning. The spacecraft launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 4:05 a.m. EDT after a smooth countdown at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The probes were released from the rocket's Centaur upper stage one at a time and sent off into different orbits, kicking off the two-year mission to study Earth's radiation belts.
