An Atlas V rocket carrying two lunar spacecraft systems successfully launched June 18 at 5:32 EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.  Helicopter crews from the Air Force Reserve Command's 920th Rescue Wing supported the launch by clearing the Eastern Range, the roughly 10-mile wide by 70-mile long strip of Atlantic Ocean that extends in the anticipated direction of flight.
