Alabama-based United Launch Alliance (ULA) released a video this week with spectacular footage of Starliner’s launch atop its Atlas V rocket.

Designed in Huntsville, Boeing’s Starliner became the first American orbital space capsule to land on U.S. soil when it touched down at the U.S. Army’s White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on December 22. It is built to carry American astronauts to the International Space Station.

The specially configured Atlas V rocket, built at ULA’s 1.6 million square foot facility in Decatur, had twin Aerojet Rocketdyne RL10A-4-2 engines which combined for 44,600 lbs. of thrust.
